PowerPoint How to make a pattern button

make two kinds of pattern buttons--the glass texture button and the metal texture button (Figure 1).

1. Make Glass texture button

Glow Effect Settings

Open PPT2016, create a new blank slide, insert a circle, and set its fill to slide background fill (so that wherever you drag the circle, it will be automatically populated with the background picture of the current position). Next, copy the circle to two. Select the 1th circle, and on the Effects tab of shape options, set the glow preset to any of the outer glow, with a size of 40 points, a transparency of 50%, and a line set to "Wireless bar." Select the copied circle, also set to any kind of outer glow, the size is 9 points, the transparency is 0%, the line is also set to "Wireless bar." After the setting is complete, multiply the two circles together (Figure 2).

Small tips:

When you draw a circle, hold down SHIFT while you can draw a positive circle very conveniently.

The production of reflective effect

Right-click the other copied circle and place it at the top level. Then draw an ellipse and rotate it to a certain angle. Add a circle and ellipse to a certain portion of the stack, select the circles and then hold down the shift selection ellipse, and then select the Format tab to merge the cut in the shape. Sets the fill of the merged shape to a linear gradient fill, two gradient stops, all white, the transparency on the left is 84%, the transparency on the right is 100%, the angle is 1000, and no lines (Figure 3).

Halo effect Settings

The addition of a halo can be set using an ellipse. Draws an ellipse of the appropriate size, set its fill to the path fill, three aperture, the leftmost aperture color is white, the transparency is 0%, the center of the aperture is blue (can be set as needed), the transparency is 65%; the rightmost aperture is blue, the transparency is 100%, and the line is set to a wireless bar. Rotate the halo to a certain angle, with the reflective, luminous effect of the button to a certain position combination. The glow effect can be copied multiple and dragged to the appropriate location (Figure 4).

Small tip:

You can also set a different color depending on the background or the needs of the slide when you set the effect on the glow, Halo, and so on.

Finally, add the text and buttons to combine, and change the size of the button, if the halo or reflective position is not appropriate, can be dissolved after the combination of fine tuning.

2. Make the metal texture button

Make button round background

Draw a positive circle in the slide (hold down SHIFT), set its fill to gradient fill, type linear, and select linear downward in the direction. Two gradient aperture, left aperture position is 0%, choose a different color, red, green, blue are 190, the right aperture position is 100%, choose another color, red, green, blue are 125; wireless bar; set shadow, preset Select interior above inside, transparency is 70%, Blur is 8 points, The angle is 270 degrees and the distance is 4 lbs.

Then draw a positive circle, slightly smaller than the circle above, its fill is "gradient fill", the type is "linear", the direction of the selection "linear downward." Two gradient aperture, the left aperture position is 0%, the choice color is white, the right aperture position is 100%, chooses the color to be gray 25%-dark 50%, the wireless strip. In this way, the button's background circle is finished (Figure 5).

Make the metal texture effect

Draw a positive circle on the slide, draw a pie circle, fold the two shapes together and adjust them to the same size, select them, click on the Format tab to merge the cut in the shape, and then draw a one-fourth positive circle. Select the positive circle for this one-fourth and set it to fill with a gradient fill. The type is "rectangle", the orientation selects "upper right Corner", two gradient stops, the left aperture position is 40%, choose other color, red, green, blue are 190, the right aperture position is 100%, the color is white; Copy this One-fourth positive circle 3, through horizontal, vertical flip adjustment, the 4 One-fourth positive circle splicing, the final combination (Figure 6).

Make Button control icon

Next, make a button icon, such as playback, pause, stop, fast-forward, and so on. Draw a triangle in the slide, resize it, rotate it 90 degrees to the right, and use the format brush to brush its style to the same style as the main background circle. Similarly, other icons are plotted like this.

Finally, the shapes are combined so that a metal-textured button is made (Figure 7).
