Color Options

These area allows you to change the colors for the currently selected layer. There are three ways you can select a color:

1. Click the color box to get your color.

3. Shift-Click the color box to open up a dialog that will allow you to enter the HTML color values for the color you want.
4. CTRL-Click will allow you to select a color from your screen using an eye dropper cursor.

For "tube" style buttons set the gradient style to Horizontal Center or Vertical Center And adjust the values given. The Highlight Position is the percentage down from the top that you want the glare to appear. Adjust the Luminosity to either brighten or darken the highlight position.

To get a glass looking button set the Cap to use the Top/Bottom gradient, then select a 15% glass refraction. Now for the colors pick a darker shade for the Gradient From color box and pick a lighter shade from the Gradient To color box. So your button will go from dark green to light green. Pick the Aqua theme for starters from the list! Want a plastic looking button now? Swap the colors! Click the button between the color boxes that has the left and right arrows. Presto!
