Hey,

I’m not sure when you create buttons, should the font of your text be in Static of Dynamic?

For Example “Home”, Static of Dynamic?

you can get a cleaner/more crisp font with a dynamic text box, by making it multiline, plus, you can also make it none selectable, so it’s easier to click the button…

to make it non selectable, unclick the little ‘ab’ button, that is right beside the single line/multi line list box…

personally i like verdana, size 10…for button font, but that’s just a personal preference.

that tutorial is very good for sub menues, just go through it once, or twice, until you understand it…then you can customize it to how you want them…
