Hey all.
I need to make a gui with some buttons, and I'll like to change the appearance of the buttons. Is it possible change the look of a button, to one of my own picks/icons

Picture buttons are on the to-do list. In the meantime, you could use picture controls with g-labels to detect when you click them. For example:

gui, add, pic, gPicOpen, Open.gif
gui, add, pic, gPicSave, Save.gif
gui, show
return

PicOpen:
MsgBox You clicked the "open" picture.
return

PicSave:
MsgBox You clicked the "save" picture.
return

Hi,

What's going on with picture-buttons? I would like to have button with icon and text. I tried lying the picture over the button, but clicking on the button let the image disappear.

It's still planned, though currently the main focus is on function calling.

You may already know that you can make a picture clickable by giving it a g-label. In other words, you could make a picture of a button to show as a fake button (without any button control involved at all). I know it's very crude.

I know this isn't exactly perfect but if you use a border on your picture with a g-label like Chris said you can achieve something similar to a button with a FlatStyle which isn't so bad.

Thanks, but I was looking for a Button with an image and ALSO text. If BackgroundTrans would work for Buttons I could imagine a workaround.

You can put text on top of pictures, and make it look nicer by applying BackgroundTrans to the Text control (so that the picture's background encloses the text). This could become a clickable picture with text on top.

But maybe it's not enough because you want a real button.

yes, I hate grabbing the mouse when I invoke a window with a keyboard-hotkey. Well, I'll display the images infront of the buttons.
