ChromeLink Overview
ChromeLink is copied from the button styling popularized by recent applications such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer and Windows 98. Taking a single image, ChromeLink passes it through a grayscale filter to initially display a 'chromed' version. When focussed, the beveled button-edges become visible and the full-color version of the image is shown. When pressed, the button depresses and the image is darkened slightly. ChromeLink also allows a text-label to be placed on the button. Both image and text are horizontally centered. Vertical positioning of image and text can be easily changed using 'offset' parameters, but by default the image is vertically centered and the text sits just above the base of the button. All colors are selectable, including bevel highlight and shadow, buttoncolor, and focussed and unfocussed text, and font options are all editable. Width of the button bevel is also selectable.ChromeLink also supports 2-stage sound (click and release), and a single click can open up to 4 URLs into their own target frames. Of course, it's also possible to use only text on the button, or indeed to use nothing at all if you prefer your buttons on the dull side!
NEW IN v3.1! An added UseHandCursor parameter allows compatible browsers to display a hand cursor when the mouse moves over the applet.
