Hi Stephen,

Here's the deal with ButtonGadget for Mac. You see, one of the neatest features of ButtonGadget is you can just click an image on a web page and it will auto-download and launch ButtonGadget.

This bit of trickery worked fine a couple years ago when BG was first created. Getting this feature to work on the Mac with Safari is much more difficult (if not impossible), and it's also becoming more difficult to do it with all the 'protective features' of web browsers on PC's as well. So, what I really need is a rewrite of ButtonGadget's buttonset libraries.

And while I'm at it, I should allow people to build their own buttons templates as well (now they can import them from Photoshop/GIMP/PSP Png files). Plus, I'm in the process of adding a whole bunch of cool editing parts including BittyFont (small bitmap font rendering engine for Rev) and some cool new widget building tools (kinda like Interface Designer stuff on steroids).

Of course if you really have to have it, you can purchase the PC version, go to the special users area, download the ButtonGadgetPro beta, which installs a stack in your libraries folder, which should run just fine on Mac. You'll of course need to right-click the buttonsets from the webpage and 'save target as' to the buttonplugins folder so they appear in your library.

best,

Chipp

long, long ago, there used to be...OS9?
It had a few bugs but it worked...

I've been meaning to ask Chipp:
What is it about Windoze that makes it work? Wasn't it written in Transcript?
Or is it just about priorities/time (which I fully understand)?


Quoting René Micout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hello,
How can I make "metal button aspect" like, for example, in iPhoto


You could do what I did and buy Button-Gadget Pro from Altuit.
