- 3DWebButton, from Rudenko Software
- 3DWebButton is a PC-based software package that offers an easy-to-use, step-by-step approach to creating sophisticated 3D buttons and headings for use on Internet sites.
Very professional output can be quickly and easily produced by the most inexperienced non-graphics artist using this program. A preview of your work is continually displayed above each of the 11 steps, which allow you to set the button shape, color, texture map and other of more than 100 options available.
The button can be colored or textured using a bitmap image, then text extrusion, outline, and altitude specified, and an optional drop shadow included. You can drag and drop the light source around the button to change the intensity and direction of the illumination. Seven button shapes are available, as are the same options for text previously stated. Finally, interactively size the vertical and horizontal dimensions and choose from bmp, jpg, and gif image formats.
NOTE: 3DWebButton does not infringe the Unisys copyright. You can freely publish gif images produced by the program.
Now with roll-over effects! The ability to create java-script roll-over effects has been added in the version 1.7.

 , from WaverlyStreet
JavaScript banner ad rotation manager AdGen is designed to help with creating and maintaining free web site banner ad exchanges. It stores information about web sites and writes a simple JavaScript to display banner ads in a rotating, random start pattern.
The program provides a clean interface to enter, store, and preview site URLs & picture files as they will appear, and to notify group members how to incorporate the simple html/javascript code.
Although written specifically for shareware authors, AdGen can be used for any sort of website. Members of such an exchange can expect:
- Free banner advertising on sites where the visitors are already actively looking around for the same sort of content.
- No chance of providing a potential customer a link to a direct competitor of yours.
- Participate in several-member group, but only devote screen space for one 468 x 60 banner (as opposed to "several").
- Everything displayed comes from your local server, with no potentially slow or broken links to other sites, no unauthorized content changes.
- JavaScript can be served from any web host, UNIX, NT, whatever. It does not require access to CGI, ASP, or any other service from your host. All the "action" takes place in your visitor's web browser.
AdGen may be used for free so long as you display an ad for WaverlyStreet Software. If you like the program, but don't wish to display WaverlyStreet ads, then register the program for only $15.00 - Upon registration you will be sent an un-lock code which makes AdGen quit "pushing" WaverlyStreet on you :-)

AlphaButton for Windows and Mac OS X
AlphaButton creates professional web button, tab, logo and banner graphics
-- without any drawing. If you can type, you can use AlphaButton.
AlphaButton is a very easy program to use. You'll be making images within
minutes of installation! But ease of use doesn't come at the sacrifice of
quality. The images AlphaButton produces rival the best on the web, including
smooth edges, vivid colors, and realistic shadows and 3D effects. There is no
faster or easier way to produce these results.
Images are created in sets, instead of one at a time. The only difference
between the images in a set is the text. So if you want to change the text
color (or font, or shape, or anything else) you only have to do it once and
all your images are automatically updated. This saves a tremendous amount of
time. Making two buttons, or twenty, is now practically as fast as making one.
Over 300 templates are included in the program. These allow you to get
started quickly but won't hold back your design. Virtually every aspect of
the template can be modified. Realistic 3D effects and shadows give your
images a truly professional look. Creating rollover buttons just got easy!
AlphaButton generates images for the normal, mouse-over, and mouse-down
states and writes the necessary HTML and JavaScript code for you. Several
multi-state templates are included to make this as effortless as possible!
You can import existing images for use as backgrounds, to fill the text,
and anywhere else colors are selected. Use your own photos, images from
collections, or images you've made yourself. If you're a graphic designer,
you can still make your designs in your favorite image editing program
(like PhotoShop) and import them into AlphaButton to add text. AlphaButton
handles many tedious details these other programs don't, like automatic
image sizing and text placement.
Download a non-expiring, fully-functional copy of AlphaButton. If you like
it, you can purchase online to immediately remove the evaluation watermarks
by simply exporting the graphics again. After your purchase, our system will
automatically generate a registration code for you. Just paste it into the
free trial version to convert it to a registered copy.
