    Depends on what you mean by “button”. 🙂 A button as an image that will (eventually) by merged into the background image can use 24 bit color and thus a gradient as well. The subpicture highlight part of a button on the other hand is limited to a maximum of 3 colors. (Technically 4, but one color is used for the fully transparent background of the highlight layer.) That means that gradients can only be simulated at best, using dithering and careful use of opacity settings.

    A video tutorial on subpicture highlighting, Highlight Colors – The Low-Down on Subpictures, can be found at adobeevangelists.com: Adobe Encore DVD.
