Hi,
I have updated my Paul’s Buttons Action. This update brings some changes that I hope people will find useful and helpful.
1 - You can design your own buttons more freely now. There is a “freestyle” option which gives you a lot of control over the colours, gradients and curves used. You can also add shadows both outside and inside the buttons. I am using CSS3 for these, so there are a number of options, such as varying X and Y radius curves on corners - which will allow you to create buttons which have more than the usual regular rounded. As I am using CSS3 for the Freeway preview, it is only a small leap to:
2 - A new variation of the Action which you apply to layered HTML items. This uses CSS3 to style the box, which gives you graphic free buttons. Just a word of caution here - not all browsers support CSS3, and not all CSS3 supporting browsers support everything at the moment, so buttons created this way will appear differently from browser to browser. I have added in a mechanism to help older versions of Internet Explorer support some (but not all) of the CSS3 features created. Instructions for downloading and installing this helper code - CSS3PIE.htc - is on my web site.
3 - Saving your designs - you can save the Freestyle designs for re-use. Designs saved in the CSS3 version of the Action can be used in the graphic version of the Action (and vice versa).
