Welcome to QuickButton  
Are you bored waiting for an image to download in an applet ? Does an ImageButton, which you see on many sites, take ages to load ? Then here is a simple NON-IMAGE yet somewhat attractive and configurable button which loads quickly. This applet uses three such QuickButtons. 

Features
What you can configure:  
  • button label (obviously)
  • button label font,
  • font color, 
  • font size. 
Development Platform:Windows 95
JDK version:Sun JDK1.0.2
Tested Under:Windows 95, Linux
Source Code:QuickButton Applet Source Code, QuickButton Source Code

Why did I do it ?
Many of the image buttons that I came across open a connection back to the server where they came from to get the images. Some have animated gifs and it is a pain waiting for them. I am behind a proxy server with a firewall, and Netscape 3 throws up a lot of security violations. Hence I thought that I should make an alternative to image buttons. My image button is nothing great or path-breaking, but a simple extension of the Canvas class.
