MadJik Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Buttons Plugin What's this? Based on a stand-alone code sample for C#, I've changed it to be a plugin for Paint.net. References : http://www.attitudedesign.co.uk/journal/?p=55 http://www.csharpfr.com/codes/GENERATEUR-BOUTONS-AVEC-REFLETS_41344.aspx ==> As it first loads the list of fonts installed on your system, it could take few seconds before the dialog appears. Download the DLL Plugin Boutons.dll Here is the DLL The MadJik's All plugins package is available !http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ You have to adapt for your language My Documents The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Render. Text: Tape in the character(s) you want for the text of button. You could preliminarilly use the plugin "Which symbol" http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=10684 to find out the symbol you need. Color wheels: You could choose the color for the backcolor, the "Surround" and the text. Fonte: Choose a fonte (from your windows list). Sizes: Set the sizes of text, border, height and width. Corner round amounts: Set the amount for the rounded corner (100 is round/elliptical, 0 is square). Offset of the text: Move the cross around to place the symbol right on the center of the button. Depending on the symbol or the fonte, you could have some adjustment to do here.

Curmudgeon Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 no muss, no fuss...less than 60 seconds...voilà thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 :shock: Awesome plugin. So easy to make simple buttons to mess about with now. Just a suggestion, maybe there should be a radius option, like in the rounded rectangle plugin, so that you can make square buttons too, instead of only ellipse ones.

oma Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 high quality very nice plug in. found if you do two buttons the same but the top one in gray writing and lower transparency and offset writing by 1 or 2 you can get a shadow. looks like it works best in black writing. I know I'm asking for the moon but is there any way to load a premade background instead of solid color? similar to a photo flood fill option?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I know I'm asking for the moon but is there any way to load a premade background instead of solid color? similar to a photo flood fill option? Or a transparent background option? Awesome plugin MadJik! I'm going to use this often. Many thanks.

Rick Brewster Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 As much as I dislike the 20 foot tall user interface , the output is pretty slick.

MadJik Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I agree... Should I remove the color wheels for background and surround, and take primary color and secondary color instead without the possibility to change during the preview? I will remove the margin... I'm also trying to create rectangle shape. But I'm fighting with the upper shine, it's rectangle too :? Any other suggestion? could someone explain "pinned" to a french as me?

IF not could be a new option request :-) THX a lot MAURI Open your image, enlarge the canvas size with your image at the center. Add a new layer, press F4 to set the transparency to 120 (for example...) Then create a button with no text... And adjust the transparency/ blend mode...
