I generally use labels instead of buttons, because well, buttons are too big for some good reason. Working on something right now. Ok, I have lots of available screen so, lets make a button.

Oh, the other problem with buttons, there are too many design decisions. Anybody want to share "The Perfect Button"?

Thanks, Luca(?). That is kind of my point. Three states. Lots of stuff in each state. Throw in three different gradients just for fun ...

Oh! I forgot about bitmaps!

Does "The Perfect Button" exist?

The best you can get is by using StateListDrawable.

PS -- A button that is lots better than my usual would be just fine. Not asking for perfection here.

Luca, I almost asked "What flag IS that?" But checked ... I am an olive-oil filled American.

For example, I am pretty sure I know how to make this B4XImageView rounded. It just does not want to do it in this specific case. I know this must be the wrong thread. But there is too much context. "About Me" page.

Maybe we should take inspiration from web design and css elements

Those sound an awful lot like "instructions" ...

[more] I have tried checking that box that says "Rounded". Just like "anchors" apparently, it stopped working suddenly. I did see something recently about new Designer fun.
[even more] You are the one that commented (also).

I do appreciate the effort you took to get this fantastic flowchart in here. Just saying. Why cannot I mark that post as solution? No checkmark over on the right?

I had already collected the pictures a few months ago and only pasted them here

Well, there's unfortunately not yet, full-time I do not do the whole thing here yet, so I have to look when I have time for it.

Ok. If I may offer an unsolicited suggestion, have a few "templates" to choose from, and then change. This might work for all 50+ views. Your stuff is very thorough and customizable. Very difficult to just "wiz bang it" then "make better later". My weird style. Starting with generic button, for example, then "upgrading" later is painful. I luv your stuff.

PS -- Curious why PayPal but no Venmo? PayPal still a Europe thing? As far as I can tell, locally (North America), Paypal is like having a Yahoo email address. ?
