How would you go about making a transparent button in photoshop that can then be used in Spruceup? Also, what size limitation is there for a button in Spruceup?

Commander,

Not sure if these are for transparencies. But I found this a couple of months ago. It is an action set with instructions for spruce up buttons.

I haven't made any buttons with it yet, why don't you let us know if it is any good.

Don't know if this is what you want to do, but I make my transparent buttons (invisible really) for SpruceUp in SpruceUp. I do this to use the original menu screen with the old button text as the menu screen in new compilations. I then drag my new invisible buttons over the old text to have the same navigation as the original.

To do this, go to the "Custom Button" option at the top of the Buttons scroll. Select from rectangular, rounded rectangular and oval (which will create round). Build your button with all the traits that you want, then slide the OPACITY slider all the way to the left. Drag this button (but it will be invisible) to your menu page and move and size it to what you want. NOTE: The buttons on the menu page will become visible (all of them) when you select and then drag any one.)
