I repeate the same question again guys. In most of the installable programs given by give away, you will receive the product key in the end. Just in case, you had to reinstall the thing and you wont get stuck, end up buying the real one. In this program, the software got activated for sure. but hte acitvation works only on that day right. What happens, if I have to reinstall after a os reinstallation. What I find in the program files, is some dlls and some setup files. It may not be enough for installation. Or that is all that is required in the case of this program. I mean Button shop 3. Or do they have our machine Ip address and so we wont be having an issue while future reinstallations.

Hope you guys are getting what I meant.

While there may be better available, the ones I have done trials on are too much bother trying to figure out how to get the wanted effects. I just hit uninstall and go on waiting, using an online button generator in the meantime for immediate needs. Now the wait is over.

This one will give me nearly everything needed for my website, and the capability of producing the desired button in about 40 seconds if knowing what I want, less than 5 minutes if needing to play around a little to view subtle effects options.

Instantly adjust:

1. Font size
2. Font color
3. Button size
4. Button background color
5. Gradient effect, color to color and side to side
6. Shadows
7. Mirror image of button
8. Radius of corners (from oval to rectangle)

My main beef so far is the Button Shop folder added to the My Documents file. I have found no way to modify where it can be placed.

As for those who say buttons are outdated, well isn’t that merely one of the poor choices of modern designers? I guess we could rightfully say that men’s shorts that don’t go down below your kneeds are outdated too, along with shirts that aren’t so baggy as to have room for two men inside. But being in fashion hardly means the modern stuff is in any way sensible or attractive. Remeber when beige computers were the only thing offered? And since then, you can have block and silver or silver and black. Blech! Whoever sets the trends for us should retire.

Yes, you can edit the pulsing. Just requires tabbing on the links above, which changes the options available.

Background color of the drawing area can also be changed by selecting from one of six ready-made packages. Strangely, they are on the Help page.

* There is no way to start with a new completely blank button.

Sure there is: first, start with any of the templates at all;
next, remove the text and set the color to white or pale gray;
finally, save as a custom template.

* You can only generate HTML code after you have saved the button as an image.

The HTML code needs to mention the button’s file name, and that is not available — not even known — until it is saved as an image.

* No way to edit how the button ‘pulses’ (animation).

Sure there is: just as with the background color, you can change that in Options.

Well, change it, in Options — that’s what Options is there for :-) .

My take: for buttons of these sizes and shapes, with whatever text and/or graphics you care to decorate them with, this li’l proggy fills the bill quite nicely.

Registers easily (just run Setup — as Admin, perhaps, in Vista), runs smoothly (again, as Admin recommended in Vista), saves both “as Template” or “as File” or both (well, you have to do both saves).

Installation writes a .log file in the program folder, lets you see just what actions setup took, including registry writes. Such documentation is a nice touch — thanks!

I never vote, but if I did: definitely Thumbs Up!
