Creating Top Fixed Menu Bar With CSS3 Buttons and Dropdown Found in Gmail
Posted by Praveen Gowda I V in Gmail, Google, Google Plus, Tutorials, Web Design on October 26, 2011
Our previous tutorial was on creating the top fixed black menu bar with CSS drop down menu found in Google products, and in this tutorial I would like to teach creating the fixed menu bar with CSS3 buttons found in Gmail along with the dropdown which contains buttons for common functions like Archive, Spam, Delete, Mark as Important, Mark as not Important, Move to, Labels, Refresh and many more functions which is displayed right above the message list.
If you haven’t observed the new CSS3 button designs on this menu bar then it is because you are still struck with an old theme which does not support the new buttons.
If you want to have a look at these new menu bar with the CSS3 buttons that we are going to design in this tutorial, please change your theme to Preview or Preview(Dense).
Or else the below image will give you a better idea what we are going to be left at the end of this tutorial.
Fixed bar with CSS buttons and dropdown found in Gmail
Gmail uses JavaScript for the dropdown which is displayed when the button is clicked but I am not using JavaScript instead CSS is used and the dropdown is displayed on hovering over the buttons, but if you want the actual JavaScript dropdown found in Gmail you can easily modify the source code.
Goals of this this tutorial:
- Make the bar static so it remains fixed even when the page is scrolled
- create the buttons exactly the way they look in Gmail
- getting the same style of dropdown menu as in Gmail
Go forward have a look at the live demo and download the source code and use it anyway you like it.

Creating The New Top Black Menu Bar Found in Google Search and all its Products
Posted by Praveen Gowda I V in Google Plus, Jquery, Others, Tutorials, Web Design on September 25, 2011
Google has come up with a new look with the launch of Google Plus and one of the prominent changes we can observe is the black menu bar found on the top of Google Search Page and every other Google product like Google Plus(obviously), Google reader, etc. Almost every Google product by now has been integrated with the top black menu bar.
Introducing this menu bar looks like a move by Google to integrate Google Plus with all other Google products.
I thought it would be a great idea to make a tutorial on how to create this black menu bar using simple jQuery and CSS.
Some of the features we are going to cover in this tutorial of making Top Menu Bar found in Google products is :
- Creating the red ribbon like effect for the current page
- creating the drop down menu when more button is clicked
- keeping the bar fixed even when the rest of the page is scrolled
- Styling the elements of the menu exactly to those found on Google

Google Plus like Deleting a Circle Animation – Tutorial, Demo and Free Download
Posted by Praveen Gowda I V in Google Plus, Jquery, Others, Tutorials, Web Design on August 22, 2011
A few weeks back I has published a post “Creating Circle Effects as in Google Plus – Tutorial and Demo“. After publishing the topic I have received a lot of requests on publishing a tutorial on how to create the animation when a circle is deleted.
So here is the tutorial.If you are still not a member of Google Plus and wondering what really happens when you delete a circle, then here you go:
Whenever you delete a circle it first jerks down and rolls away gradually disappearing on reaching the end of browser screen
Cool effect isn’t it ?
I thought it will be a very nice effect to implement in any website for varied purposes.In the tutorial I have created when you hover your mouse across the circle it enlarges and if you want to delete the circle then right-click on the circle’s name(Eg: Friends or acquaintances) , a context menu with the delete option opens similarly to that found in Google+. Clicking on the delete option will delete the circle with exact animation we find in Google+.
jerks down and rolls away gradually disappearing on reaching the end of browser screen
So below is the link to Live Demo and Code Download, If you are interested in knowing how the code works you can continue reading the rest of this post.
