Background images To change the background images:
- Expand the Background Images property group on the right and select an image in any of the fields (LeftEdge, CenterSlice, RightEdge). Click the down arrow in this field and then select Browse for Image to find and select an image file.
Why are there three image fields instead of one? The reason is that the width of the middle of the button may need to change based on the label that you enter. In other words, the longer the label text, the wider the button needs to be to accommodate it. So if you have a very long label, the middle image (CenterSlice) will be repeated to make up the space.
Font color To change the color of the font:
- Expand the Font property group on the right and change the value in the Color field. Click the down arrow to open a color palette window. You can click a color shown, or you can click More colors and select a different color or create a custom color.
Font family To select a specific font family (e.g., Arial, Tahoma, Verdana):
- Expand the Font property group on the right and change the value in the FontFamily field. After you click in the field, the Font Family Picker dialog opens. Use this dialog to select the font family and click OK.
Font size To change the size of the font:
- Expand the Font property group on the right and change the value in the FontSize field. Click the down arrow to open a small window. In this window, you can enter the size of the font in the lower-left field (either type a number or use the up and down arrows). You can select the unit of measurement (e.g., pixels, points, centimeters) using the lower-right drop-down arrow. See About Units of Measurement. You can return to the default setting by using the upper-right drop-down arrow.
Font style To change the style of the font (e.g., make it italic):
- Expand the Font property group on the right and change the value in the FontStyle field. Click the down arrow and select either italic or normal.
