Picture Buttons 3

A picture button is a small picture (an icon) that represents the button’s

function. The picture is usually bordered by a rounded rectangle, like a

text button with a picture instead of a text name. Figure 3-7 shows several

picture buttons.

Figure 3-7 A picture button depicts what the button does

A picture button should be as tall as the large Close box (described under

“Close Boxes” beginning on page 3-14) and wide enough to enclose the picture.

Leave white space between the picture and the interior edge of the button

border. On an Apple MessagePad, make picture buttons with borders 13 pixels

tall (not counting the 2-pixel black border), and leave at least one pixel of white

space between the picture and the border.

Picture buttons on a status bar deﬁnitely need bordering rectangles to match

the other items there and to isolate the pictures from the bar. Conversely,

picture buttons on separator bars do not touch the bar and often look better

without bordering rectangles. For example, the Filing button and Action

button must have a border when they are on a status bar, but look better

without a border on a separator bar. A button looks good without a border if
