ButtonGadget™ is an application which automates the creation of buttons for websites and application interfaces. It can export JPG's and 32bit PNG's with full alpha channel support so they can be composited within Photoshop and other image editors.
Creating Buttons in ButtonGadget is easy! Just choose Load Button Set and select a button style. Then type in the text to be placed on the button and click the Apply Text to ALL button. Select the View Button tab and you can then build and export the button in either PNG or JPG format.
The Button Image tab allows you to set a color background for each button - important for exporting as JPG. You can also load in your own custom button images by pressing the Load Image button.
ButtonGadget works best with anti-aliased screen fonts found in Windows 98,ME,2000 and XP.
