Button background image

[Juan Carlos]

Hi, i'm new in kivy and python, and, i would like to nkow how to put a
background image into a kivy's button. I tried getting the canvas from
the button and putting on it a texture, i tried with an image too, but
it doesn't work.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Juan,

Check background_down and background_normal properties on a Button:
http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.button.html#kivy.uix.button.Button.background_down

You can set them to add a different background when the button is pushed
or not.
It's a border image by default, if you don't want that, set the border
property to (0, 0, 0, 0)

I looked at this answer and I'm still confused. I set  button_down_normal: 'Images\buttonnotpressed.png'. this however does not display my png image.

I think you need the background_normal property and not button_down_normal
