I agree with catatonic, the main feature must be an ability to test button designs in web browsers of our own choice.

Tried this little app out and must say I had fun. Creating custom buttons have never been easier. Works with my web design software flawlessly. I high recommend this for someone who does not need to waist time and would like a professional look and feel on their website.

The ability to supply a text file with button labels, one per line, and a style, and have it automatically generate appropriately sized button images for all the strings… outputting both the necessary images and/or HTML and CSS for the web.

Oh, and the ability to add additional user-defined templates, of course … just like everyone else here!

*Make the buttons automatically resize to fit the text (or does this already have it?).I remember downloading this awhile ago and it didn’t seem to have this feature.

*Include the option to export the button to be used with a form element or just as a link.

*Render the text used in the button as part of the graphic if the font isn’t a common one. I know this is against web 2.0 guidelines but it still should be an option.

Yes you have now been disqualified
Of course not – we all make mistakes! However, if it was an attempt to influence the decision making by posting twice – we do not fall for attempts like that at MacApper!…. much :p

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Stupid web proxy cache didn’t display the correct version of this page so I needlessly reposted my comment. Does that raise my Lameness points so high that I’m out of the running?

Really?! I can see your comment – number 6.
(and its a really nice idea btw :p)

(Weird, my comment posted yesterday didn’t stick for some reason.) I would like to see an on-the-fly preview feature, allowing us to test button designs in the web browser engine of our choice.

I’d have to say that the ability to edit the existing templates a bit, or th eability to add my own designs (an import feature?) would help a lot….

An easy plug-in to Rapid Weaver or RAGE Design (or even RAGE MapDesign), with live previewing and editing would also help.

A more intuitive creation of CSS features (How about changing the button text or even shape on mouse-over or clicking?) is also almost a MUST for me.

I would like to see the ability to save as a Photoshop document with layers. I would also like to see a way to add custom backrounds for the buttons.

I’d like to see the ability to save the button as many types of graphics files (PNG being the default).

Okay here are my most wanted features:

- Ability to add templates obviously!
- Killer CSS buttons
- A cleaner layout
- Tabs

An on-the-fly preview feature, to test one more more button designs in the web browser of your choice.

Support for Flash effects.

yeah it really bugged me that there was no way to add more or create your own, it seems to needlessly limit the program.

Ability to create your own templates would be cool!

The feature i would like to see added is easy integration of its rollover buttons with rapidweaver (a plugin perhaps). It not easy for everyone to add rollover buttons in rapidweaver using code from RAGE button design. Rapidweaver has a good amount of community support with regard to plugins, and RAGE button design can fit in nicely.
As it stands now it seems RAGE button design does what it is supposed to do pretty well.

What is the feature that you would most like to see from Button Design?

The ability to create button templates to expand their base 75+ designs.
