Hello Peter, with your code + \button[width=2.5mm, height=2.5mm]{Please, print me!}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=2.5mm]{Not this time!}[test] I get two empty square buttons which look about 2.5 mm wide and high. I could send you a screenshot or the resulting pdf file. I tried the ConTeXt version 2003.9.24. But maybe I don't understand your question. Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

one value should be 25mm for a better example

Just press the buttons (not releasing the left mouse button) and you will see... Greetings, Peter

Just to confirm: in normal state I see a small button. When pressing the mouse button I see the area of the button inverted but with more width than actually used, but the height looks fine. +---+ xxxxxxx+---+xxxxxxxx | | becomes xxxxxxx|xxx|xxxxxxxx +---+ xxxxxxx+---+xxxxxxxx where xx is inverted. But this happens (in your example) only with the 2.5 mm width. The 25 mm wide button is OK. Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

confirmation granted; nice ascii example! What you see is not only the inverted but the whole size of the button. You can activate this button in this visible area (and that's my problem).

Yep! The 2.5mm wide button is smaller than the minimum given through the actual font size, while the 25mm wide button is not. If I for example use \switchtobodyfont[5pt] in front of the button definition, I can get a 2.5mm wide button. Sorry for irritating you, but the function of a button is not to rule a frame. ;-) Regards, Peter

It seems you haven't followed the discussion with Patrick. You are the second one, who has trouble to understand my problem. I'll try to be more precise in the future. :) It's not the size of the printed part (frame). My problem is the activation area (this is what I mean with size) of the button. For the default font (12pt) the minimal wide of an *empty* button is about 4.15mm, if you use bigger fonts this value increases. Just push the buttons (not releasing the left mouse button) in my example and you see what I mean. Regards, Peter
