Do you themers know how to access the aqua glowing push buttons that pop up inside dialogs and such?

Here's a pic of one button:



I believe this is a composite of several images within the Extras.rsrc file, like the progress bars and spinning jaguar progress indicator, but can't find it.

I want to extract each image from the animation as it goes from dark to light, and light to dark.

They must be somewhere because I saw Shinobi, and Izawa had his own custom glowing push buttons.

The actual "pulse" animation is made by the system. There are only two images in the Extras.rsrc that control it. If you want to duplicate it I guess you could do it in Photoshop by putting them in different layers and then changing the transparency of the top one. Or maybe you could use Snapz Pro X and capture it as a movie?

Feel free to steal it if this is what you want... Just open it in Imageready.
