Comment on All Vector Buttons in Fireworks CS5 by Michel

Feel free to take a look how I’ve done the buttons… (the file is a .fw.png file, so it’s editable).

Perhaps I’ll write a quick post, too, we’ll see… Not a lot of inspiration lately I have…

In essence, I used some ready-to-use Fireworks styles, just tweaked some of them to achieve these results. in the file, there are 9 layers, each contains one button + 1 background layer.

Glad you liked them!

Michel,

Those buttons look great! I really like the bottom row of black buttons, especially the one in the middle. I’ll have to save the file and take a look at how you created them.

I can update this post and put a copy of your file here, but I think you should also do a quick blog post of your own to explain how to made buttons.

Thanks for sharing!

I was playing a bit lately with your idea…

I wonder if I should share the following results, here or in my blog…

http://www.optimiced.com/web/2010/fw-button/buttons-play-20100531.fw.png

— 9 buttons in total, each button is made using only one vector object and one text object…

It’s nothing special, but I still kinda like the results.

Now imagine all the power of Fireworks, if you use not one, but two vector objects per button! Wow! ))

Comment on Creating Custom Command Panel Icons for Adobe Fireworks by Dave

Thanks, John.

Yeah, I need to update the post with links to the extensions I made these icons for.

The Resize Panel was a demo panel you created – I think for JS to Flash framework for panels – it was a simple panel to set the registration point then resize the selected object.

Nice article. Which panel is the “Resize” panel in your example? It would be handy to get links to your favorite panel extensions.

Great article, Dave:

Here’s some Mac locations:

~User~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5/Command Panels
and
Applications/Adobe Fireworks CS5/Configuration/Command Panels

On my system, the first path was empty, but I had several in the second path.

@Kaelig

Thanks for sharing your version of the simple vector button and for the info about using shadows to create an inner bevel effect. That link gives some good examples.

I gave it a try.

Feel free to use it.

@Dave : shadows up can give a button a nice inner bevel effect. This designer uses fireworks : http://emberapp.com/deaxon/images/outlet-avenue-admin-dashboard/sizes/o
Notice the shadow on this menu buttons.
