I would like to get into the
fancy stuff (designing my own buttons). I read
the word document in the files section. Is this
the easiest/cheapest way to go about designing
buttons? Using this software we are looking at
at least $200 to get started. Has anyone designed
some fancy buttons using more "off the shelf/cheaper"
Vette - I did my button work using Microsft Photodraw 2000 V2. If you are a big Microsoft user, you might already have it included with some other software. It does what MS Paint does and more so. You can open any .bmp and modify, etc.
It's not quite as sexy as Liatro button maker but it does a good basic job, especially if you are going to borrow your basic button and then add your own touches. One thing for sure, designing your own buttons and managing all of the titles and multiple sizes you will need is a HUGE job. It certainly makes your unit look very custom but it will extend your development time by 2-3x.
