Handy “Web2.0*” tools

Proper Web2.0* pages gotta have stripes, so make them here (They also do a “Tartan generator”):
Stripe Generator

This page turns an image into a favicon and gives you the link code you need:
Dynamic Drive favicon generator

This one generates lovely animated gifs for use with AJAX or Lightbox:
Ajaxload.info

and this one makes “glassy” buttons for you 🙂
Mycoolbutton.com

I have also been playing with Highslide, a development of the Lightbox/Thickbox Javascript popup scripts. While it is super sexy, it just seems a little bit too clunky to use on a client site.

* Web2.0 doesn’t have anything to do with graphic design, its about open data transfer and socially created content. But everyone else is calling the currently fashionable graphic design style web two, so I will too 😛
