Is it possible to have animation in a WindowsBlind theme?

I am one of those guys that trying to make a Mac-ish windows XP interface.

And I saw that on a real Mac, the defult botton (for example the "Ok" botton in a dialog)
will actually glow in a very smooth way.

Is it possible to create an animation botton and place it into a WindowsBlind Theme?

Of course. Animation will take effect on mouseover. You just set the number of frames it has, the start and end frames, the time between frames, add the frames onto the end, and voila. The animation options should be in SkinStudio. Have a look at, say Docking Station to see how. You can animate most things.

To be honest Steve, your not going to get the glowing style mac buttons unless its with mouse over.

If you do want to try animating the System button image, make sure you have multiples of 5.

What I mean by this is the normal 5 image states plus the 5 or 10 frames for animation. Try not to use the last frame as I have found you tend to get a lot of glitches showing, but this might be down to my graphics card.

The other thing I have noticed when using animation is that the pressed image is overridden by the animation.
