The Paint Panels You can apply paint to the text, shadow and background of the button image. You can paint with a color, a gradient, or a texture image; or can apply no paint at all.
Text The Text Paint Panel applies paint to the text. For a paint to work satisfactorily on text, the text size should be large and in bold style.
Shadow The shadow is derived from the text image and can be offset by an amount from the text. To turn off shadow, apply the No Paint settings in the Shadow Paint Panel.
Background The background of a button is not necessary a rectangle that fills all the width and height of the button. It can be a round rectangle, oval or any custom shapes. When you apply a paint to the background, you fill up only the defined shape.
For the 3 paint panels, each corresponding to the text, shadow and background layers, you select what kind of paint to apply by using the drop-down combo-box. After that, you click the appropriate button to launch the dialog box for the paint.
Choose Color A color chooser dialog box will appear. Select the color you desire and click "OK".
Choose Gradient To create a gradient, choose two colors and Button Image Maker will automatically generate the gradient for you. You can also set the direction of the gradient and the ratio of the colors. This is very helpful in creating beautiful button images.
Choose Texture Atomix button comes with over 30 textures generated by Rendersoft Illusionae. Applying textures to the buttons can result in very nice effects.
