Great Lighting Inspiration by Pete Harrison aka Aeiko

Habieb — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:46:09 +0000

Pete Harrison is a digital artist and designer from the UK, he go by the alias ‘Aeiko‘ which is his online creative identity. Some artists create with pens, others a paint brush, and today many more with a computer, but he is the only artist that renders his images with the deadly, but dazzling coloured illumination of his Jedi light-saber. Each stroke he summon by the strength of the force smears beautiful streaks of light across his canvas, until the end result is a frame filled with flashes and flares that burst from the depths of a deep black galaxy.

Pete is creative head behind Desktopography and Funkrush. In this post we highlight some of his graphic designs, illustration, abstract art and photomanipulation with amazing lighting effect. To learn about basic lighting effect, check out our Photoshop tutorial explaining lighting effect on the typography.

Solving Z-index Problem on YouTube Iframe Video using jQuery

Habieb — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:55:31 +0000

A must-have feature on a WordPress theme is a dropdown menu, and it’s quite easy to make. But the problem arises when we put a YouTube iframe video just below the drop down menu, YouTube video overlaying the dropdown menu. It’s a z-index problem and we’ll solve it using simple jQuery code.

jQuery Code to Solve Z-index Problem on YouTube Iframe Video

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("iframe").each(function(){
        var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
        var wmode = "wmode=transparent";
        if(ifr_source.indexOf('?') != -1) {
            var getQString = ifr_source.split('?');
            var oldString = getQString[1];
            var newString = getQString[0];
            $(this).attr('src',newString+'?'+wmode+'&'+oldString);
        }
        else $(this).attr('src',ifr_source+'?'+wmode);
    });
});

This jQuery code will automatically modify the iframe youtube videos embed codes. I hope this short jQuery tutorial can be useful.

Change WordPress HTML Editor Font

Habieb — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 14:37:56 +0000

WordPress 3.2 comes up with various features, from it’s “distraction-free writing” that so cool, until monospace font in the HTML editor which isn’t so distraction free when you’re trying to write. Although already familiar with the same font when coding with Notepad++ it feels very uncomfortable when writing post using a monospace font. Moreover, I was the one who didn’t really like using the visual editor. Then how to solve this problem? In this WordPress tutorial I’ll show you how to change font in the WordPress HTML post editor.

To change the font in the HTML editor we need only add a few lines of code into our WordPress theme. What to do first is open the file functions.php in the theme folder and add the code below.

add_action( 'admin_head-post.php', 'grafisia_fix_html_editor_font' );
add_action( 'admin_head-post-new.php', 'grafisia_fix_html_editor_font' );

function grafisia_fix_html_editor_font() { ?>  
This will change the font used on the HTML editor from monospace to Georgia. You are, of course, free to change this font to whatever you want by changing font-family. For example, you want to use Arial, then you have to do is change the line font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; to font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
What the change looks like? see the following screenshot.

I hope this quick tip will help you to change your WordPress HTML post editor font.
