How to get rid of halo effect on button set?

Mar 24, 2015

Wherever I create button set, it adds a halo fx around currently selected button. Can I get rid of it, or modify it somehow? There should be a way! :)

This is a bug that the development team area aware of when you add a button set, in the selected state remove the glow effect, and then format paint to all your objects.

That sounds great!  Will "format paint" allow me to transfer my updated custom states to other buttons?  If so, how exactly do I do that?

Also, I'm having some trouble finding where the glow effect is in the formatting options - there's a blue color to the glow, and I don't see that color anywhere in the shadows, outlines, or fill. ?

Well hell's bells, wish I'd known about this YEARS AGO!  Thanks so much Phil!  Format Paint is saving me from recreating about 80 buttons! :-)

So under Format Shape is where I'm looking - I Edit State, choose Selected, then go to Format Shape - I've got Fill, Line, Shadow, Picture, Text Box options. In none of them do I see a Glow effect - it looks to me like it's a shadow effect, but I have a black shadow on my buttons. I can't figure out where the blue color is coming from?

On the home tab, under shape effect on the right is the glow states

Got it. Thanks again Phil!

Hmm, although when I select that while editing "Selected" state (which is where the glow shows up) it is showing No Glow selected. Enh, hopefully it's not that big a deal to the client. :-)

Hey Leslie,

I know its a year late, but I hope this helps.

You have to select the button, go to states and click on edit states. While in the editing states mode, click on the selected state of the button and choose no glow option from shape effects > Glow, under the format tab. And then click on done editing states and you're good to go :)

You have to remove the glow while in the editing mode that's it.
