Buttons with graphics

[cjoshuav]

My Online Forum is Xara-heavy. The menu, banner, and most of the buttons were made with Webstyle 4.

The only problem I've run into is that I want to replace buttons that look like this: http://www.thinkingbaptists.com/foru...icon_email.gif with similar ones designed in Xara to match my color scheme and overall look.

I've found icons in Webdings and Wingdings that I can use for the graphic part (in most cases, although I wouldn't mind the ability to import my own graphics) but I can't figure out how to make a button with two separate text components.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Sorry to bump this, but I really could use some help here. It seems like a pretty basic thing for Webstyle to be able to do.

Is there a command to add another Text category to a graphic? Is there a way to import my own graphic into a button?

Webstyle 4 is a template driven program. Only the templates provided within the program can be eidted in the program. Any graphics imported into Webstyle are treated as photos and only editable in the photo editor.

Its not possible to add a second text category to a button. Some of the button styles such as tennis, texturesbuttonleft and texturesbuttonright include more than one image. Therefore you can replace the image with your own photo by clicking on the background button followed by import photo.

Creating custom buttons is something that can be done in Xara X http://xara.com/products/xarax/

Thank you

It looks like I made the wrong purchase then. I should have bought Menu Maker + Xara X (assuming that I can make the buttons I have already made in Xara X). http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Is there any chance of you adding the ability to insert an additional text field in future versions of webstyle?

Joshua, the button example you've used looks like phpbb.
I love that bb.

Only thing I'd suggest is to create the buttons with the text, colours etc
then using a graphics package cut and paste in the little graphics.

Fingers crossed they'll take the idea on board for a future WebStyle release.

further to my previous post,
I think you can get the images in component form here:
