How do you do?
ResourceButtonMaker Stack

This is a two package stacks - the ResourceButtonMaker Stack & the Links Helper Stack (RBM Links).

What it does
1. Create cool hover buttons with your own graphic. You're the king in command… the stack allows you to create unique hover buttons - making your site stand out from the crowd!

The stack preloads the hover images in the background switching fast between the images and the hover images.

Good to know
Remember - working with RapidWeaver's Resources you'll have to add the resources when a project is moved to another Mac. And it is when you download the RW Example file.

Also remember to name resources correct. No special letters in file names, no space… if you don't - resources won't work.

If you use a grid stack to place the RBM stack - you probably wanna use auto as width.

Link & Colours

Colours

The Link Top Pad setting is used to move the link / text into place. Depends on your graphic.

Def. link as: Normal you'd wanna define the links as a block. But you can use the LinkStyler to create a nice list with links.

You have to create a link for the Stacks settings to take effect!
The Hover Efffect

If you place a RBM Stack within a RBM Stack you can achieve some really cool hover buttons. Like the Hippie Example on top of this page.

It's really all in the graphic you create! Let your creativity loose!
