Setting the Subpicture Style for the Main menu
buttons
A button’s Subpicture Style determines the shape of the button highlight, which
changes color depending on the state of the button (normal, selected, or
activated). Button objects and button frames contain subpicture layers that are
used by default. Subpictures for text buttons can be set to use a rectangle
highlight (filled or outlined) or text shape highlight (also filled or outlined).
To set the Subpicture Style for the Main menu buttons:
1 If the Attributes window is not open, select Window > Attributes or press F4.
2 Double-click the Main menu in the Project window to display it in the
Preview window.
3 In the Preview window, use the Selection tool to select the three text buttons
by drawing a marquee around them.
4 On the General tab in the Attributes window, set the Subpicture Style to Fill
Highlight Rectangle. This will cause the buttons to be highlighted with a
rectangle when they are selected or activated.
