[AccessD] Better Looking Buttons

Gustav:

Thanks for that.  Will forward.  I agree.  His idea is to get 10-20 users
and then get the package acquired.  So it's a hit-and-run kind of strategy.
So spending resources on steak versus sizzle is probably the right thing.

Hi Rocky

Except if your current buttons are ugly, which I guess not, you should
advise him to spend his limited time on more important things - items that
will raise productivity for example. 
Users want neat not fancy design, and 3D buttons are so much yesterday -
like those of Access 1.x and 2.0. Even Apple with their revised UI design
for the next iPhone knows this.

I still recall the ugly standard buttons Borland came up with in Delphi ...
those with a big green checkmark and a big red cross cartoon-style overlay
for the OK and Cancel buttons.

Dear List:
 
A client writes: "I would like to try and make the various buttons more
three dimensional looking.  Examples from Apple are in Exhibit K.  Can we do
something like this?"
 
He's looking to give the command buttons a little sizzle.  He's considering
making the app I wrote to run his business into a commercial app.
 
Any ideas?
