gwpriester: Where do you think I learned how to make a stretchy button in the first place?

Black Panther: I did this also.... used a design gallery button and replaced it's "colors" with my carbon fiber fill. Works great but if you look at the attachment, it has a different look. More square with a flat-faced 3D look, then the two narrower highlights top and bottom.

I did create one from scratch in ProX and managed to get it "close", but I can't seem to get the 3D look just right. I'm no artist by any means (just a enthusiast) so cheating with PS filters made the original fairly easy for me to create as a bitmap. Wish I could just cheat again and have Xara convert it. <grin> And the fill is too "busy" to trace or convert to paths. Still learning some of the tricks in a vector app such as Xara.... and you ALL have been invaluable!!! In fact, this has to be one of the most active forums of any topic that I have visited. A big CHEERS to this community is in order.... you all deserve it!

Hi Jim, if you find my design for your button more 3D look, i can submit you .xar file to see it and change it after your need.
the second one is filled with default Bitmap.
Just let me know please.
