Thread: How to make slide menu button transparent or invisible?

Hi good people
Any one who knows how to make a slidemenu button transparent or invisible? Changing the color to the same as background will not do the trick because i got a gradient colored background shape. As you can see at amillionbees.com in the top navigation bar.
Thank you & Happy holidays.

Dumb question on my part, but why would you want to make them invisible?¿

I have many Invisible buttons, I just dont put them on my page..........lol

I do not want the text to be invisible only the surrounding button. :)

i think you might be looking to do something like this:

dont look at the page as a whole - just the first home link. as you can see you can link the button to whereever you want. if this is what you are looking for, just let me know and i will tell you how i did it.

Hi mrmagoo144
Thank you for your reply. Got a chok when i pressed your link. Thought it was my own site crashed. :)
Any way i would very much like to know how you made the link transparent. It might do the trick even though i want to use it for the slide menus in the bottom of the top navigation bar at amillionbees.com
Thank You!

no problem, but still cannot see you slide menus at the bottom. are you sure they are not invisible already? just kidding. here goes - pretty simple
1. type your name as to style and size that you want using type tool.
2. cover the name with a shape tool - i always use a border on the shape tool so that when i make it transparent you can place it or shape it to your desire. to make it transparent just double click on the shape that you have made and click transparent. place the shape over the word you typed.
3. save and publish it
4. go live and snag the transparent image and save it in your image folder in blue voda
5. now you make your second image anything you want but with the same word on the face as your original. i used a picture manipulation software program like photoshop to make the second image. once that is done you save that in your image folder in blue voda.
6. you use your rollover tool in blue voda. import the first image and then the second image, save it and publish it.
thats it.

good luck

Thank you mrmagoo144 :)
My slide menus in the top navigation bar are not transparent yet, but difficult to see because i made them as close as possible to the gradient background shape color.
