Box in the Box: 3D effect
This is an experiment where i used the "box in the box" experiment but made the boxes appear with a bevel effect.
It was created by using border techniques so you get a 3D effect, just as when u use the bevel effect in an imaging program.
Because the 3D effect in operating systems is caused by a imaginary light source coming from the top left hand corner of the desktop, the trick to get your 3D effect is simple: create the border edges with top and left being a little lighter than the button, and right and bottom being a little darker.
This shows you how you can create a nice effect, just by playing with the borders. Borders are indeed powerful properties.
For the basic layout, refer to this experiment.
Some more scribbles for you to look at.
