Buttons and layering...

I was trying to make a sprite overlap a button but neither "always send to front", "always place in front of object" or moving either the sprite or the button to a different layer worked.

Is the "button" object locked to the top layer?

I wanted to make a custom mouse cursor but it always goes behind whatever button I make...

Yes - it's a window control, and like edit boxes, list boxes and so on, these cannot be layered and are always on top. That's how Windows draws them.

If you're making a game I'd recommend using Sprites for buttons - the window controls are intended for applications, precisely because they have these layering limitations.

Of course... why would I just make a custom cursor if I'm not going to bother doing the same with the buttons?

Thanks again.

Cursors can be changed so you could set a custom cursor over them, so if that's all you want to show above the controls, you're in luck . Custom cursors would require a simple plugin, hopefully it can be done before 1.0.
