David Griffiths' website, www.spigots.com, is unavailable. You can obtain the necessary files for this applet from 1Archive.com. David included an extensive tutorial in the zip file which explains all of the parameters, contains demos, and includes a few photographs that he used for the demos.

The applet itself is pretty simple like the one for his original snow applet. Nothing too complicated here. I've used a photograph from FreeFoto.com in my demo to the left.

The photograph's real dimensions are 125 wide by 83 high. In order for the applet to work properly and show the shimmering lake effect, calculate double the height of the image and use that for the height of the applet. In the example above, it's 166 (83x2).

Other parameters available to this applet is the option of putting in an overlay image, which is another image on top of the background image, and an underwater view. David explains all that in his "read me" tutorial.

Be sure to upload all of the files to your Files Directory: the .class file and all images you use.

Please click this window close to return to the Applets Index.

Here's the code for this applet to use with SiteBuilder. Items in red type are what you need to change for your image.

<applet code=lake name=lake1 codebase="files/" width=125 height=166>
<param name=image value="files/ima14.jpg">
</applet>
