Modifying a stock purple button · **Released**: 06-28-2003

Hello.
I co admin a Toyota 4Runner, SUV, and truck forum.
www.yotatech.com

I don't have Photoshop, but I did read the cool tutorial in this thread on how to make custom buttons.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=47270

What we'd like to do is take our stock purple Home button and change the text on it to say new posts instead of the word home on it.
http://www.yotatech.com/images/top_home.gif

I already modified the code in the template area so when you mouse over it, it will say "View New Posts" instead of "Home."
I also modified the URL of it so it will show a logged in user the new posts since his/her last session.

How does one change the text on the button without Photoshop, and can it be done to look to match the other buttons?
Thanks, Corey

Thank you very much.
I even looked at that font that was mentioned in that "how to" post, but it's not the same font, and it's all in cap letters.

Hey, thanks.
You were posting the GIF when I was doing the last message.

Thanks again, Corey

Just a tip. Add noise from 20% and then you don't get that horrible fuzzy black border

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
