I would like to see more up to date button styles in XE 6. The current buttons look like windows 95/98 butttons. Please add some windows XP and windows Vista button styles.

I'm not sure if this is in plain OPUS XE 5.5 or if you have to have OPUS Extras, but make a Button Object, then go to Properties -> Border.

Check the "Add Border" box in the upper left corner, then scroll down the list and select "Buttons." OPUS can then automatically create the most amazing graphical buttons you could imagine. Highlight the items in this long list to see samples. Notice there are UP and DOWN selections, so in the NORMAL State use the UP, then click the "Mouse Over" State and select the DOWN image to really take your buttons to another level.

You are no longer stuck with Windows 3.1 type Buttons.

Hi demofred,

thanks for your reply. Your are right there are a lot of borders and shapes but not one of these looks like a modern windows XP button. Maybe I have to buy the extras plugin to get more modern button styles.
