Creating Button Templates
To create multiple buttons with the same features (size, color,
lighting, and so on):
-
Click the Create button button in the Create palette and place your
button on the page.
-
In Button Magic, create a button with all of the attributes you want
(Background, Shadow, Font Attributes, and so on) to appear in your
template button and click Apply.
-
Once all of the features are to your liking, choose File >
Save to save the button in a convenient place. Use this
"template button" to replace the default "Aluminum"
button whenever you create a new button.
-
When creating a new button, launch Button Magic. When the default
button appears, choose File > Open and choose your
template button.
-
Make your changes to the button and click Apply.
Tips
This technique can be used to create a collection of common artwork as
well as collections with a common motif.
To make a group of buttons with exactly the same dimensions, first type
in the longest title you expect to have on any button. Then, choose
Button Size > In Pixels before saving the template button in
step 3.
