Border Styles; Creating A Time Button; Creating A Date Button - AMX MIO-R4 Operation/Reference Manual

Button fill color is state-specific, so keep in mind whether you want the fill color to occur on
all states, or only on specific states. Each state of the selected button is represented individually
in the States tab of the Properties Control window, so use the Fill Color field in the state that
you want to change, or use the Fill Color field under All States to change the fill color on every
state in the button.
3. Click the browse button to open the Colors dialog, where you can change the fill color.
4. Click OK to close the Colors dialog.

Border Styles

Anytime you create a new popup page or button, you'll have to assign a border name. If you don't want a
border on the object, you can select "none" as the border name. There are several types of border names
to choose from, and they all can all be assigned to both popup pages and buttons.
