[SOLVED]PNG buttons instead of textbox button

#1 Post by Udar »

Hello there guys.

I'm in quite a pickle.These days I've been searching for a way to replace my project's main menu textbox buttons with my own handmade PNG ones. The thing is... I'm not sure how to do this replacement. Maybe someone can give me some hints about this, or a solution.
Thanks in advance!

you would have to use imagebuttons instead of textbuttons

only an example:

Code: Select all

imagebutton idle im.Scale("gui/button/button_config.png", 129, 25) xpos 1100 ypos 550 hover im.Scale("gui/button/button_config(1).png", 129, 25) action ShowMenu('preferences')
            imagebutton idle im.Scale("gui/button/button_logs.png", 129, 25) xpos 973 ypos 579 hover im.Scale("gui/button/button_load(4).png", 129, 25) action ShowMenu('history')
            imagebutton idle im.Scale("gui/button/button_save(3).png", 129, 25) xpos 848 ypos 604 hover im.Scale("gui/button/button_save(4).png", 129, 25) action ShowMenu('save')
            imagebutton idle im.Scale("gui/button/button_load(3).png", 127, 25) xpos 723 ypos 629 hover im.Scale("gui/button/button_load(5).png", 127, 25) action ShowMenu("load")

Just so its a bit clearer (you should really look at the documentation for imagebuttons to learn how to position them and their various functions / attributes), here is the _minimum_ you would need for an imagebutton.

imagebutton auto "my_image_%s.png" action ShowMenu('save')

In addition you would require two images, located in the images folder - my_image_idle.png and my_image_hover.png
