Hehe, there you have it. My first sneak peak of one of the characters in my upcoming VN! Oh, yeah, this thread has nothing to do with that, does it? Anyways, I'm here to drop off some gradient text boxes I've been playing around with to get a feel for some image buttons. I am by no means either a skilled GUI artist, or even a coder. So bare with me, I'm not the best at trouble shooting. These text boxes are pretty darn huge, fitting in with 1600x1200 games, but they could easily be resized to fit for 800x600 simply by dividing the size half. I can't promise the best quality, but just in case, I did include the PSD files for each box for anyone who has basic photoshop skills to fiddle around with.
Terms of Use: I don't really have any. Just don't be a dick and claim you were the one who made them. (If you modify them, that's okay.) I would like to know which projects they're brought into, even if they're used only as makeshift placeholder text boxes. I mean I don't need to, but I'd be interested.
Code: I may not be able to give you the complete step by step instruction, but the least I can do is give you the basic quick menu codes and placements for the image buttons.

Keep an eye out, I may add more. I mean there's a serious lack of green so far. XD
