How to create "elevated" boolean controls in LabVIEW, plz see attachment

[rahulrana]

Hi,

 Recently, most industries are moving towards 2D GUI object and Logos for their company GUIs and Logos. Also there is trend of using ELEVATED (looks out of paper) booleans as in some Google chrome search icons and in pdf zoom buttons (when opened on chrome browser, see attachment).

2D objects are available in LabVIEW menu. i would like to know how to make these buttons look out of plane of paper or use buttons from somewhere so that it looks like that. Is it even possible with LabVIEW?

Pleasee see attachment for the kind of look I want for my GUI.

The Silver LED is probably a good place to start, it's already round, flat and "elevated".

Here is another link that shows how to customize controls. You can create your own design in GIMP or Inkscape (or any other drawing application) and use the method described in link.

This nugget by Yair (tst) was writtien on the topic of customizing controls.

Using the methods desribed I have developed control sthat look like this...

for example.

In short, you are limited only by the images you have available and your imagination.
