Thanks for sharing your experiences here. I'll add a notice in my tutorial refering to your post. This ways, other users that have the same problem as you, can find the solution faster.
BTW: This tutorial wasn't meant to be about buttons. Only about flags. Your post shows me, that I should make this more clear. Well, you got it to work and in-deed flags and buttons can be made similarly. Just a few hints:
- don't use mipmaps for buttons; mipmaps can cause the button appear small or blurry
- if you'd like to add a border to your buttons, use the packages for gimp and photoshop from the utility section of the filedb
Thanks for pointing out that the link to the plugin doesn't work anymore. I wasn't aware of that. Would you please provide a link to the plugin that you use? No need to reupload it, just post the complete link that you've used to load it. Don't know if you got the same plugin from elsewhere, but it obviously works. So the link in the tutorial could be updated with the one you used.
And thanks for your kind words about my tutorial! The fact that makes me sure that it was worth the work, is, that the count of questions about flags dropped significantly. So I'm glad this is of use.
