Description of the issue

The behaviour of graphics changed with the release of FileMaker 13. Until Version 12.0.5 every graphic could be set up for different styles depending on the status of the mouse. This option got lost in transition.

Why did I use it: my GUI depended heavily on the use of PDFs with transparent background, mouse-over, mouse-down, borders etc. formated via inspector as seen on the screenshot. It is rather annoying to see all this disappear from the featureset as one can't accomplish this with the button tool in FM. FM-buttons can't load PDF as backround graphics and I suppose they wouldn't be rendered via any vector-engine.

I don't know wether this has to be classified as a glitch or as a bug or whatsoever. But I want it back.
