dpArt: Website/Interactive/Presentation/Video/Desktop Button Graphics

Originally from the Blue Molten Chrome Soup Texture, these elliptical buttons now look like they have a marble style finish. Because of their small size, they may be best suited as bullets. But bullets can be used as buttons, too. And they include just enough room for a couple of numbers or letters. Because these buttons include a drop shadow they cry out to be clicked. Font color should be very light, such as a light yellow or gold, or a bright white.

Blue Molten Chrome Popsicle Stick Buttons with Drop Shadows for White Backgrounds



Each GIF button image is 150 x 28 pixels




Each GIF button image is 146 x 38 pixels

The top set of thinner popsicle stick style buttons requires a very readable font for it's labels. I recommend a sans serif font such as one of the Geneva, Arial or Helvetica families. These are best suited for crowded menus where the goal is to cram as much info into a limited designated area as possible. Because these buttons include a drop shadow they cry out to be clicked. Font color should be very light, such as a light yellow or gold, or a bright white.

Blue Molten Chrome Rectangular Buttons for Light Backgrounds





Each GIF button image is 305 x 44 pixels

Here we can see the original texture popping out, since the buttons are grouped together so closely. These buttons are well suited for lengthy and/or large text menu options. Because the 305 x 44 buttons include a drop shadow it cries out to be clicked. Again, a very light text is recommended, though the buttons are thick and long enough for some very creative fonts. The original 300 x 36 buttons are an exact match, as these versions with dropshadows were added to them. These 300 x 36 button originals can be easily converted to the rollover for these dropshadow versions by extending the canvas of the 300 x 36 buttons to the top by 5 pixels and to the left by 8 pixels. This rollover effect is done for you on the dpArtCD. Again, a very light text is recommended, though the buttons are thick and long enough for some very creative fonts.
