Speaking of depressed buttons, will the Lay Hands/Harm Touch buttons actually stay properly depressed?
Haha good timing.

So up until last night we have had all the "pressed buttons" appear transparent.

This was a bummer to me because the "presed button" looks so cool!

This is what it looks like without prssed buttons:

I had an idea I had after I fell off my toilet and hit my head on the counter and managed to get pressed buttons to work!

I was very excited, but then I noticed bugs... do you?

At first I didnt notice, but then after like 20 minuets I was like waitaminuet...

So here's the thing, as of right now the game is not able to know the difference between a hotpad button being:

"pressed"
"having an item on it"
"having a spell gem on it"
"having nothing on it at all"

For all 4 of those states, the game thinks the hotpad button is being pressed (To test this, I changed the "PressedFlyOver" image to be transparent, then when I mouse over an empty panel on the hotpad it would become transparent, this leads me to believe that the game just thinks, that these buttons are transparent while they exist in one of the 4 above states)

So here is the decision for Version 1.o:

Is it better with pressed buttons, and empty buttons/inventory/gems have the pressed background? OR Would you rather all those be transparent, and no pressed buttons at all?

I am leaning towards pressed buttons, but I love them so I am biased.

What are ye's thoughts?

Edit: or maybe you were not asking that question at all and were asking if Lay hands would stay pressed for 1hr (in the case that it doesn't do that now in p99, because I have no idea about that I have never played a paladin, I just do pictures haha)

But plz let me know what you think about this.. situation!
