P pjoconn Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 2, 2013 #1 Okay I'm new to this but been writing embedded software for 30+ years. I hate the square/rectangle buttons when using designer. Is there any other way to create a different shape (ie: oval, circle). I need the button down and button up functions. Thanks to all that reply. Pat

As I stated earlier, my expertise is in embedded and have very little experience in dealing with HMI's of sorts. Upvote 0

Google "free images buttons". Then load the images into Image Views as I did to make the keyboards in this custom keyboard example. Upvote 0
