I am creating a custom DB solution for my company and wanted to insert buttons with rounded edges. The problem is that when you click the button, the entire rectangular shape of the button image goes grey. Is there anyway to make the mouse down color follow the transparency of my GIF? I noticed that FileMakers standard rounded button behaves this way.

TIA,

Try making a transparent elipse and format that as a button instead of your graphic. Then put the button behind your graphic.

If you have a more complicated graphic, you can group several shapes that approximate the graphic's dimensions and make them transparent as well.

Excellent! Worked like a charm! (although FileMaker, Inc. should have made an easier way to do it! )
