1) File menu


New - to create new project.

Open - to open saved project. You will be asked if you would like to save the current project in the web button creator.

Save - to save current project in the project file (*.xwb). When you save to project file, the directory "ProjectName.xwb.icons" is created, where ProjectName is the name of your project file. This directory contains button icons of the saved menu. If the menu doesn't have any icons then the directory is not created.

Save as… - to save current project in the project file (*.xwb) or in the HTML file or to save your project under another name. Choose type from the "File type" list in the "Save as…" dialog and enter project's (new) name. When you save to project file, the directory "ProjectName.xwb.icons" is created, where ProjectName is the name of your project file. This directory contains button icons of the saved menu. If the menu doesn't have any icons then the directory is not created.

Save as HTML - to save current project into the HTML file (*.html). Project HTML file will be saved then, and the directory created, containing buttons' images. The directory name will be: "YourProjectName.html.images", where YourProjectName is the name of the HTML file saved. For example: if you enter "Header" in the "Name" field of the "Save as…" dialog, then "Header.html" and directory named "Header.html.images" will be created.

Export images - to save menu buttons' images as gif-files (*.gif). "Save As…" dialog will appear, where you can either type each button name or leave it unchanged. If you want to save the button images, press "Save". Either way (if you don't want the button images to be saved), press "Cancel". This procedure will be repeated for all the menu buttons. When you press "Save", 1 to 3 images are to be saved, depending on the menu type. Their names will be: ButtonName_0.gif - ButtonName_2.gif, where ButtonName is the name you have entered when saving.

  • ButtonName_0 - corresponds to Normal state.
  • ButtonName_1 - Hot state image.
  • ButtonName_2 - corresponds to pressed/clicked state.
