Thanks for your comments, feedback

Nice

Info: Windows only ...

Thanks, it's good to point out that it's Windows only
I've added: "IceButtons Windows library blablabla"

As always, top-notch stuff, Chris!

For those who do not have ICE Design GUI, you should consider it. One heck of a GUI designer!

Hi Chris, this is wonderful, thank you!

I'm wondering if it is possible to do multiline button text? My test (below) didn't work so maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Wow, I don't make sales every day (the community is quite small) but this morning made 2 sales
It's so nice when customers are satisfied with the work done and let you know it.
Thank you very much

I had completely missed the multiline button text.
I added it, it looks good now The code is updated in the 1st post.

Chris,

I'm one of your 'early adopters', i.e., first purchasers of IceDesign.
This is a great addition and lets me add a little more 'bling' to my boring old forms.

Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Eric

Thanks Eric,
The first ones are always a bit special for me, as I'd never sold an application before

I've updated the code to handle Multiline in combination with the other possible flags #PB_Button_Left, #PB_Button_Right, #BS_Bottom and #BS_Top.
And the tooltip it is now painted with the background color and with the Text in black or white depending on the dark or light color.

I'm over 60 000 chars now, so I've uploaded the code to GitHub. The download link is on the 1st Post.

Also, I've added a simple apps to allow you to easily create a custom theme for IceButtons and copy it to clipboard.

I have used PB since January of 2004. Since then, my complaint has always been the lack of a GUI editor that met my particular needs. Everybody is wired differently and have different wants in a GUI designer. This community is blessed to have 3 very good GUI designers to choose from. PureVision is rock solid stable and Paul gives awesome support, ProGUI is awesome and stable and Princie is a good guy. The way my brain works, ICE Design GUI worked best for me, and has everything I have been wanting since 2004, with the cherry on top in the form of supporting DPI. ^5's

As I said months ago, I was running ICE Design and had it minimized and forgot about it until the end of the day. No crashes or memory leaks, it was still sitting there waiting for me. It has every feature I would want and they work in the way I would expect, and what works best for me. I could not be happier and have found a new rekindled interest in PB, which after my TBI, I had all but given up on relearning programming.

ICE Button Theme library gives an excellent introduction to the quality and competency of ICE Design GUI, that us existing customers have come to know and love. At this point, I am spoiled and can't imagine making apps in PB without using ICE Design GUI. It is money well-spent, and if you do not have it, you should give it a try. It is a purchase you will never regret!

I designed it thinking about what I'd imagine it to look like, so we're pretty much on the same page
I fully agree:

Yes others very good product, I'm Not in any competition, I respect, I know better now what it represents as work

My appreciation and thanks for creating an interesting program. If I use it in my software, expect a reward.

You have a good understanding of buttons. How to make a hover in a graphic button that will change the image on the button. I want a short instruction, which is also a graphic (from a graphic file), to be displayed when hovering over a large graphic button.

Thank you, greetings to you and everyone reading the post.

Thanks, from my phone, i'm not at home the next days.
It uses 2Ddrawing, to draw the images before the mouse hover, in MakeIceButtonsImage procedure, not sure you can use it easily for graphic images, ImageButton is probably more appropriate

IceButton updated to v1.4

- Add border color as a theme attribute (it was the same color as the Button):

• #IceBtn_BorderColor, Color or #PB_Default : Button border color, #PB_Default for the Button color

- ButtonImageGadget are now supported, included in IceButton.
As for buttons, they'll still work in the same way as PureBasic ButtonImage, they're ButtonImageGadget!
With borders added according to state (Default, Hightlight, Pressed, Disabled) as for buttons.
On mouse-over, a slight contrast/brightness change is applied to the Default or Pressed image.

As for ButtonImageGadget, Images can be changed with :

• SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget, #PB_Button_Image, ImageID)
• SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget, #PB_Button_PressedImage, ImageID)

Note that unlike PB, images are resized to the ButtonImage size.

And another little bonus, it's possible to add text to the ButtonImage with SetGadgetText(#Gadget, Text$), GetGadgetText(#Gadget) is available.



IceButtons.pbi and IceButtons_BuildTheme.pb source code are Updated on Github
