AKsp - Based on my understanding, Muse can handle that animation fairly easy using scroll motion effects.  I never dove into that, so won't spend time trying 😉  (see Creating a One-Page Scrollable Website in Muse in lynda.com) Peter - In the context of my work, when I say hacking, I'm referring to the use of built in muse components/widgets for purposes other than their original intent.  My prototypes, I assume you could have gathered from context, are for software UX/UI concepts – only instead of stopping at linking hotspots, I had fully interactive elements throughout, and an output that my dev teams could easily 'steal' data from. Animation can't replace this. I do have a license for XD, but that doesn't mean that the security gods will let me publish to third-party servers.  Infact it's written right in our contract for CC, tho shalt not use adobe cloud.  Since my license is enterprise, I'll look into your claim for a self hosting feature. tnx ...

Thanks Peter, I fear you misread, I wrote that I use Muse for "fully immersive prototypes" – going beyond anything that XD can come close to delivering – due to muse's amazing ability to customize and/or hack each elements.  I dove into the widgets, but only rarely as need be. The cherry on top was that I could use the same skills to create my portfolio site 🙂 Tap me if you wanna discuss deeper. My thought about animations were simply about there being bigger fish to fry (priorities) Security? Well I'll let you call my guys at the big blue company :-), but if you say self hosting, then we're onto something.  What's the timeline for that? It's the primary reason I looked away. ...

I was hoping to find that nearly a year after the EOL announcement, that there would be a new front runner available to replace muse.  Since I couldn't find anything in this forum I decided to dedicate some time to the list compiled by this group and see what each (most) offer.  I did find some promising tools, but alas not a single one which was capable of what I was able to achieve in muse. Unlike most, I didn't use muse to create wonderful websites.  Instead I used it to create fully immersive prototypes and proof of concepts for the UX field.  I only mention this to highlight the fact that not everyone cares about the governing bodies, web standards nor frameworks, since my outcomes where never intended to be consumed by the public.  Muse gave me an excellent sandbox that I was able to use to convey custom interactive idea's.  It made it much easier for me to convey concepts to my stakeholders.  Alas this ability will be gone soon without replacement, suggesting I need to take a huge step backward in my professional offerings – due in most part to greed, NOT the inability to keep up with technology.  I know first hand that muse was abandoned simply to move development resource to another 'big bet', being XD (insider info). But I'm sorry adobe, too little, too late, you should have stuck with the product which already had traction and found a way to move it forward. Given this is an Adobe forum, I may as well summarize my findings for Adobe XD: NOT a webdesign tool: simply a glorified prototyping tool with a limited set of interactions (think Illustrator meets Hypercard [kuos if you get this reference]).  This prevents experimenting with interaction patterns. Proprietary, non-secure, output:  Projects can only be published to Adobe Cloud, and can't be protected from the public (this feature is only in beta).  This is a non-starter IMHO since who wants to prototype with all eyes watching?  Not to mention most organization have security rules preventing development on third-party servers without extensive legal agreements in place (even with password protection, which I repeat XD doesn't offer). To much emphasis on animation:  I'm sorry, ain't nobody got time for that.  Yes animation is nice, but it shouldn't come at the cost of bigger challenges, and adobe seems to have made it a primary focus. Myself, as mentioned, I will likely have to take a large step backward.  From every tool I reviewed for 'my' needs, it looks like Invision Studio stands out.  It's also not perfect, but from what I see, I believe it has an excellent future.  It's integration with invision cloud make it seem like the perfect end2end solution (and its FREE).  And yes, I just poo-pooed XD for outputting to cloud, but who doesn't have an approved invision license these days? (if you are looking for a webdesign tool, Studio isn't it, hence my step backward). Second in line is Pinegrow, but I don't relish the learning steep curve to do what I was already doing, and spend more time doing it. . ... View more

Thanks Ankush, but I think you misunderstood.  I did try it, and as soon as I discovered that the object won't be inside the statebutton I had to stop, since I need it layered below other objects in the statebutton (which is not possible when it's outside the statebutton. Why is this important?  I'm trying to pin objects to the top of the browser (page header).  Unfortunately there is another bug that prevents proper fluid layout of objects when pinned.  The workaround for this other bug is to lay them all into statebutton & pin just the statebutton. Damned if you do, damned if you don't 😞 See details about the other bug here... Re: fluid width page design & pinning inconsistencies? ... View more

Thanks for the work around, but unfortunately this doesn't place the rectangle into the button itself, meaning it has to be always on top, which gives me another challenge of 'layering' the various object I need nested in the button (for layout purposes). ... View more

Hacefrio In my experience you need to start with new widgets. Existing (converted) site/widgets still disallow this (I assume there’s some incompatibility). But maybe I’m wrong, I just know that I can work with this no problem in the March 26 version of muse. ... View more

Günter. Much thanks! This is a great workaround as a short term solution! It doesn't solve the larger issues with grid alignments, and adds some extra steps for breakpoint management, but at least it allows me to move forward with my current project 🙂 I'm hoping that some staff are still paying attention and work to solve the bigger problem (I believe if flagged as bug's, we might still get some action); Grid irregularities with PINNED objects Column to object matching when using fluid layouts (related secondary observation reported above) If you readers don't mind NOT flagging anything here as the 'correct answer' we might still get some longer term action. ...

Günter. I tried your scenario before, but again, the moment the foreground objects are again pinned to the browser, full width or not (even outside of state buttons) the problems arise again. If you have an example file where it is working (with pinning) I would love to investigate. thanks! ... View more

Günter, Please notice the third row of elements. It is also nested in a browser-wide state button, but since it is not "Pinned", only it stops sizing at the browser minimum, unlike it's pinned cousin.  This is the behavior one might expect when a page minimum is reached. In simplest terms. I would like to create a fluid page header which is pinned, and the page header elements should stop sizing at the page minimum page width (as all the other elements do). <- This is the only true way to keep consistent grid. I did additional testing, when I take a row which is not contained in a full width button, and pin it, I get even stranger results! You can try this yourself with the second row of element. There is no way this is the expected behavior? Footnotes: Incase you wonder, I am sort of a rules person.  When I create a grid/columns I expect everything to obey the grid as a rule.  I find Muse is making this very difficult for me. See below. The blue lines indicate the determined columns. At 100% width, all elements follow the columns, and all elements are set to responsive: But when I size the window width smaller, suddenly no object stays true to the fluid columns. Worse, when Pinned, they seem to live on a planet of their own 😞 I appreciate all your help and patience as I work through this! ... View more

Thanks for looking Ankush, You probably didn't notice, but when you set the block to responsive, it "deselects" the pinning option automatically; True, when you do this it works, but my goal is to leave the block pinned to the top.  Unfortunately when this is re-selected it fails again. As an fyi, even when the block is set to "Stretch to browser width" and you remove pinning, it also works. The one factor that breaks the grid is the pinning. Maybe it's a bug that needs addressing? ... View more

Danke Uwe! This does work, altho it's not what I expected. Typically when applying this trick to the bottom of the screen, you can actually get the 'handle' to move out with the drawer (see the examples below, and my file updated at the url from before) Turning it -90º gives a drawer effect, but leaves the handle at the side of the window. I'll work with your method for now, but if you (or anyone) have any ideas on how to make the handle move with the box please advise. 🙂 ... View more

Danke Günter. I tried this, but as I reported previously it didn't work for me.  Unsure what I'm doing wrong 😞 pinning; regular (closed) state; selected (open) state; < notice there is no movement.

WOAH!  This is unacceptable. How can I possible design when all my composition widgets are visible?  When having multiple such widgets on any given screen it's basically impossible to see my layout! @ankushr40215001... I tried your suggestion, but when selecting lightbox, the lightbox 'padding' breaks my layout. I can then deselect Show widget parts while editing, however when I switch back to stacked the target then reappears and grey out the selection again. As such I'm surprised that you answer is marked complete since this is not a suitable workaround. The suggestion that @DS WildPutWest came up with is slightly more tangible, but makes tracking design changes impossible. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED? ... View more

Nope... The footer always moves down (infinity) when I increase object height.  Sure I can size it out of view, but then it forces scrolling etc. Maybe time to submit a feature request (edit position of lightbox). ... View more

center/middle is how muse always treats a lightbox, but not absolute definition 🙂 in the real world simply adjusting the positions, top: & left: % allow this sort of control. Unfortunately I'm just not good enough for the real world.  Damit Jim, I'm  a designer, not a programmer :-))) ... View more

Again,  sorry for the delay in responding. fotoroeder, as usual I like the way your mind works. I would have never thought of the accordion trick. It is however giving me issue on two fronts; Height can't be set to 100%, which is a problem also because I can't cover the footer with it Inability to put the control to close it with the lightbox itself So even though I will keep your trick in mind for other uses, unfortunately it won't help with me current need. Maybe someone else as an idea how to hack the lightbox location? ... View more

thanks. I did try that and insured I left it visible in muse but each time I rendered the page it was closed by default. Maybe I'll try again ... View more

Thanks fotoroeder​.  Apologies for not responding sooner (deadlines) I put together examples to show what I'm trying to accomplish in my second part of the request. The grey box (button) is supposed to keep things together in a page area, and is fluid (responsive) The right box is supposed to be fixed width, pined to the right of the grey box The left box is supposed to be fluid (responsive) & two pixels away from the right box Here's how it renders when the window is bigger, note the 2 pixels expanded dramatically; If I group the boxes, it ruins my right side pin; How can I fix this? ...
