Dreamweaver Pong

Remember that classic computer game, Pong? Here's a fun new twist, in the form of an Easter Egg:

1. Fire up Dreamweaver on a PC.
2. Make sure that your computer's sound is turned up so you can hear this.
3. Open any file (ones that have lots of text and/or graphics are especially nice to use).
4. Click within some text in design view so the (default) text Property Inspector is showing.
5. On the Property Inspector, just to the right of the color swatch (that controls the text color), is a place where you would normally type in a hex color value.
6. In that textbox type the word 'dreamweaver' and hit the Enter key. (Hint: move your cursor up and down with the mouse but don't click on the mouse buttons.)

Thanks to Russ Helfand for this killer easter egg! He's a real Windows nut, so unfortunately this game didn't make it into the Mac version. We'll just have to be satisfied by playing with Expose all day...

Dom,

Anymore Easter Eggs?

This is Aziz from TODCON (the only black guy who was there! LOL!). :-)

hey Aziz! Of course I remember you - the man who gets all the difficult design work ;) Nice site, btw.

Here's another Easter Egg:

0. In Dreamweaver MX 2004,
1. Select an image in Design View.
2. Open the Window > Properties Inspector,
3. Then Cntrl (or Cmd) + Click on the Image preview in the Properties Inspector
4. Keep clicking - you'll cycle through the pictures and names of all of the engineers who've contributed to Dreamweaver over the years - I'm in there, right after our man Dino!

Thanks for your comment about my site. I'm in the process of redoing it. I hope I can top it! :-)

Hope to see you at the next TODCON!

Regards...
