Java™ - a simple hover class
This is the applet in action:
showing the same applet with another border:
The applet internally creates three images for the three possible states: one for the normal state, another one for the "hovered" state (lightened), and a third one for the state, when the button is down. So there should be no delay or flickering when the mouse is moved over the button.
