Players 4

7 Frame Harmony
The 7 Frame design uses a freeware (?) cross frame menu program from
Harmony Hollow with a GUI Interface. It's the fastest & easiest to learn &
maintain. The only hack needed is a small change within the exit script. The
generic look of the menus is greatly reduced when viewed through the newer
Microsoft browsers most commonly in use & the overall look can be enhanced
via bgcolor choices leaning toward gray. The color of this page for example is
about as far as we might want to go into Blue.

In this case there is a separate frame for each menu which makes the
construction of this clips player easier. The frameset is shown in the example.

All 5 menus for this Player can be made from a GUI interface. All but the [Exit
Player] menu work fine as built from the GUI interface. Our example of the
exit menu script is below. The necessary change from the GUI generated script
is ...}{parent.top.location.href... in the <head> section.
& it's easier to change the size of the menu boxes themselves sans GUI. Use a
simple text editor to alter the "font-size=0px';...entry in the <body> section of
each menu's htm.
