GIMP - I've heard about it but never had a need for it before. I'll check it out.

Much nicer looking and easy enough to change the text. The beauty of this method is you can use the clients own colour / logos / font and style to make up the controls and you get a lot of flexibility on sizes / shapes / look and feel etc. Anyway... Maybe it is not your thing. But worth a look. Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Wednesday, 7 August 2013 1:51 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Better Looking Buttons Actually, the text in the button needs to stay there - a picture won't do. There are many command buttons in this app. I think what he wants is a consistent looking but attractive button.

Alternatively, make the buttons transparent and put them on top of an Image control. -- Stuart On 6 Aug 2013 at 17:35, Rocky Smolin wrote: > Dear List: > > A client writes: "I would like to try and make the various buttons > more three dimensional looking.
