Creating Button Templates

To create multiple buttons with the same features (size, color, lighting, and so on):

  1. Click the Create button button in the Create palette and place your button on the page.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. When creating a new button, launch Button Magic. When the default button appears, choose File > Open and choose your template button.

  5. 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.
