New Plugin Announcement - Menu Buttons Plus

I've just added a new menu plugin in the market, based on the original Menu Buttons concept, Plus a little bit more. This is my second foray into the world of plugins, my aim here is to produce a simple yet effective menu that can achieve a similar looking results on both Android and Apple devices. Buttons are sized based on how many items you'd like to see across a screen (not specific pixel dimensions). So if you want four buttons in a row, four is what you will get, across all devices (well, everything I've tested on). In keeping with the original buttons menu, there are vertical, centred horizontal top and bottom layouts and centred grid button menu layouts. These (hopefully) all render consistently across different device sizes. I have added some button click transition effects (iOS only), and slightly enhanced text labels effects (bold, italic, bold+italic). And there is also the option of a header image, which auto-fits without any distortion, even when the device is rotated. Some sample headers and button graphics are also included in the build to help you get going. Let me know if there are any problems, I'm hoping there won't be (m)any lol. Cheers, Alan

Ok, then I reckon if you give up making apps, you could become a Paddy Ashdown looky-likey - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Paddy_Ashdown_3.jpg/220px-Paddy_Ashdown_3.jpg
