Is there an easy way to have CCP change the color of a graphic button, or do I need to recreate it in a program like photoshop (presumably with layers so I can easily change the color)? I like the basic jpg graphic button that my installer made for me but he made it only in blue and I would like it in other colors for some purposes.

I use Adobe Fireworks to modify or even cvreate button images from scratch. It's far better for this than Photoshop.

All of the factory graphics were made in Adobe Fireworks. However, you can edit them in any graphics software. For what you're describing, all you'd need to do is adjust the Hue setting, and you could produce buttons in any color you choose.
