i am currently working on making a painting program similar to microsoft paint, but all the menus i have seen are too complicated. I simply need a menu that will be able to register when the mouse is over the button (to highlight it) and then change some variables when i click the button.

I have already created a basic painting program which allows you to either control it with the arrow keys or mouse, but a drop-down menu for the options would look nicer. I have been searching through a few of the tutorials and have come up with nothing.

One way is to use sprites for your buttons and constantly position a transparent 1x1 pixel sprite at the mouse position. Then you check for a collision between your mouse sprite and a button sprite using "sprite collision" (I think)... if a collision is detected you can then check for mouseclicks or change the image on "mouseover".

Have a try. If you get stuck post your work here and I'll try to help!

To get you started I've attached a 1x1 transparent pixel for your mouse sprite.
