    Hello,

    I'm trying to customize the look of a Button using CSS. In particular, I want to replace the button image with a custom one. Here's what I am doing:

    1. Create a buttons.css file included in the project
    2. Write only this rule in buttons.css: #button { background: url(button.png) no-repeat; }
    3. Import a button.png image as another included file
    4. Create an instance of a Button object with ID "button"
    5. At start of layout, use the Browser object's Load stylesheet from "buttons.css" action
    6. When I play the game, the button's image is not the default one anymore, but it is a white square image, instead of the provided button.png image.

    Any advices? Other CSS rules, such as "background-color: red;" work correctly, so the problem only seems to be with background image. Also, I managed to make the buttons.css work outside of Construct 3, so it should be syntatically correct I think.

    Thank you in advance for your help! :)

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • I'm guessing it can't access the image, because in preview it's in the "files" folder. Try changing to url(files/button.png)

    Why don't you make the button with a sprite? It's so much easier!
