Interface Overview
(click image to view full size)
The ButtonGadget interface is divided into three parts:
1)The Button States panel is on the left and titled Buttons. It contains the four button states: Normal, MouseOver, MouseDown and Disabled. Here you can view the changes made to the different button states. Click on a button state to set it 'Active.' All changes are made to the 'Active' button state. To 'turn off' a button state, click the check box next to the button state and is will be hidden.
2)The Editing Panel is on the right and has three tabs named: Button Text, Button Image, and View Button. This is where most of the button design and customization is done. More on how this works later.
3)The Top Area contains application controls, which are always visible. From top left to right:
a.Online Update Check control - checks for latest version of ButtonGadget and prompts to download. Note: Please close ButtonGadget before downloading a newer version.
b.Shrink / Grow interface control - toggles between a large and small interface
c.Load Button Set control - opens the button library where you can choose new ButtonSets to load. This is generally the place to start when designing new buttons. The button library shows a list of the installed ButtonSets on your local computer. You may choose to go online and download new ButtonSets which will be automatically added to your local library.
d.Save Button Set control - allows you to save customized version of an existing ButtonSet to your local library.
e.Reset control- clears out all button images and resets all parameters to their default state. Use this control to design ButtonSets from scratch.
f.Help Control - used to do the following:
i.Access the version number of ButtonGadget
ii.Register ButtonGadget
