5. What do you need from the ZIP file?
You always get three formats:
GIF, JPG and PNG. You only need
one of them.
If you’re putting this on a textured
background, JPG won’t work. Apart
from that, just choose the smallest
file size.
You also get a button_0 and a
button_1 for each type.
If you want the button to change
when the mouse moves over it,
keep both. If not, keep only button_1
Extract the files you want and give
them more meaningful names
(e.g. order-now0.gif,order-now1.gif)
