How to make different buttons

[jmarino]

Are there different shaped buttons available? If not, is it possible to import a button made in another program?

Well, not exactly but you can resize your button, make it transparent and put an image under it. If you want another shape, like round, just make an image of a button and use it as it was a button, since all actions are same.

Hello,

My method has been to create a GIF "button" in some other program (a graphic).

Then import the graphic in the object editor.

Then I use the "Hyperlink" feature to create the button functions.

I then 'group' the graphic and the link and presto... my own button

Give "DEKNOP" a try, it's a very handy little button maker...amongst other things. Great program and it's free to boot.

Thanks. It is good advice. I will try making buttons and use the screen capture idea.

Just tried it Photoshop. I made an oval button with a gray to blue gradient, saved it as a JPG and brought it into Pix2exe and put an action to it and it is great. Thanks again.

You might also like to take a look at my "Intro Demo" on www.beechbrook.com where Title images produced in Photoshop would be used as buttons. This was produced in response to an earlier thread on this subject. Good Luck.
