Hi,

I'm trying to author some mpeg2 files using DVDStyler and I discovered that I couldn't use any personal button.
I 've made some png and DVDStyler doesn't catch trhem as buttons.

I 've seen that preconfigured buttons wer made with xml files.
Is there any mean to use my images as buttons? I haven't seen anything in the doc

Ok I'm answering to myself. I don't know much about xml but I finally understood somthing.

The basic buttons already present in DVDStyler (arrows for navigation, button ok, the cross...) are loaded using xml. Inside this xml file, there is a part which discribe the content. That's done with anchor(don't know if its the correct word?) <svg> </svg>.

Then I remembered that I created my little buttons in png using a Inkscape, a vector graphic editor. So I opened the svg of my buttons with notepad and I copy/paste the whole file in the models given in the DVDStyler folder.

That worked perfectly! It seems that there are some aditionnal parameters to modify the apperance of the button.

I hope that'll help some people. It's time to go back to authoring now.
