Color Box



{If you can read this, your browser dosen`t support Java.}
(Color Button Java Applet)

A colored button Applet. The colors of the button are determined by choosing the percentages of Red, Green, and Blue the user wants at each corner. The remainder of the button is filled using a 2-D linear interperlation from those four points. The default button message and its color are input variables as is the message to show on a mouse over. The URL to switch to on a mouse down (click) event is also an input variable (wouldn't be much use if it wasn't). The button has a 1-pixel black outline always.

The source (.java) and binary (.class) files are free for the taking. Have fun. If you think of any unusual ways to use them drop me a line.
