Creating a rollover button state

Rollovers are multi-state buttons used in navigation bars on web pages. In Xara LX, you can use the Button & NavBar Tool to create navigation bars and rollover buttons.

To create a rollover button state:

The MouseOff button is created when you create the navigation bar. See Creating Navigation Bars for details. To create the other states:

1. Open the NavBar Edit States dialog box by clicking either Create/Delete States on the NavBar Tool Infobar.

2. From the list on the left, select the state you want to create.

3. The new buttons are based on the MouseOff button. New state looks distinct automatically chooses shades of the MouseOff button colors (see Note). Otherwise the new button is identical to the MouseOff button. In either case you can later edit the new button as required.

4. Click Create. This creates a new buttons in a layer of the same name (layer MouseOver for MouseOver).

Note:

New state looks distinct may have no effect if the MouseOff button design is a bitmap or uses a bitmap fill. Xara LX cannot automatically alter the colors in bitmaps.
