good program for making buttons

[ae_jester]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good program for making buttons (free if possible). I'm not talkin about those plain lookin buttons that you can already make yourself.

Another question. How can you make the title bar a gradient color? eg. from dark blue to light blue etc

If its possible....

Thanx in advance.

Try Paint Shop Pro. It's one of the upper end graphics editors without the BIG price. Sorry though, it's not free. :(

The gradient bar must be set in the system's properties - you can't set it only for your program! And it doesn't work in WIndows95 or lower.

If you still wanna make a gradient (outside the bar), I can give you some code I have. You can even make the form without any title bar, use a small image with the gradient to fake it, and I'll give you some code to make that image able to drag the window, like a real title bar :)
