New Video Tutorial: How to make a Silverlight Glassy Button for Designers
In my recent video tutorial on how to create a custom Silverlight Button Control I showed how to make a set of Rectangles that look like a glassy button. I then showed how to turn it into an actual Silverlight Button. I got an email from a reader/friend named Partick telling me that the information was very useful but the button itself was not very convincing as a glassy button. He suggested that I make a tutorial that was aimed at designers showing them how to re-create convincing glassy buttons like ones shown here: http://www.netdenizen.com/buttonmill/recent.php
I told him that would be a good idea and asked him which button he suggest I show how to re-create. He told me that he liked the round button (the third one from the top on the URL above).
I went ahead and made the video for him. Now, because of time contraints I could not make the custom Silverlight Button look EXACTLY like the one he showed me but I could show him, and others, the tools by which they could re-create these and other such buttons that are 100% acurate, design-wise of course.
Please keep in mind that this video tutorial is just for designers. Enjoy!

Thank you Victor!
LOL…Well thanks for asking Partrick. And also thanks for remininding me that I was forgetting about the design community. I forget because I am not a designer but it is important that I remember because I have an understanding of the tools that Silverlight developers need to make their magic.
