How do I remove Read more button and replace it to default "Read more..." ?

You would have to edit the css file and strip out the button graphic... though all other buttons would be affected as well. So to keep other buttons, but have read mores not have that graphic background, you would have to create a new css style that applies to the readmore function. If there is an easier way though, I'm all ears.

Please inform what should I be looking for in the css template to remove buttons.
Thanks.

Same question!

Recommendation: Install Firebug in Firefox so you can look at CSS elements. That's pretty much what I do to figure out pretty quickly what CSS needs to be edited for each element.

Instead of using the editor button at the bottom to create a read more link... just manually add an HTML link via the HTML editor:
<a href="link">Read more</a>

This will always show the read more link in your article plus the text that should only show up when clicking on read more... Am I missing something here?

The code that is inserted by the text editor is this:
<hr id="system-readmore" />
That will give you what you want, and the READMORE text will disappear when you go to the article.

People. This is basic Joomla! Maybe go help.joomla.org or maybe even READ some of the tutorial articles you find in a fresh Joomla! install and familiarize yourselves with what it's capabilities are and stop looking to Artisteer to solve all your problems.
"Only one edit window! How do I create "Read more..."?

This is now implemented by inserting a Read more... tag (the button is located below the editor area) a dotted line appears in the edited text showing the split location for the Read more.... A new Plugin takes care of the rest.
It is worth mentioning that this does not have a negative effect on migrated data from older sites. The new implementation is fully backward compatible."

OBVIOUSLY the last two postings were made by people who did not read the original request.
My interpretation of the original request was to remove the button graphic from around the Read More text, and make a slight modification to the text by adding some periods to the end. Since the original template was designed in Artisteer, Artisteer is determining how this button looks. And the only choice Artisteer gives us is a graphic around the button. Joomla, on the other hand, tells us what happens when we click that button. And that is significant because a Joomla read more link behaves differently than an embedded URL link.
So, yes, we can all modify the CSS sheet in Joomla. Then the next time we make a change to the associated Artisteer template and upload, we can all modify that CSS sheet again. Sounds like fun!
I am going to request that Artisteer put in a feature to make a graphic-free "read more" button. I think its a valid request. In the meantime, I am going to try and find a plug-in that will let me customize my "read more" links. Sounds a lot better than keeping up with manual CSS updates.

If YOU read the post you would see our posts were directed at the 2 people that hijacked the thread trying to find an alternate means of inserting the read more button. Of course you can alter the template AFTERWARDS. That's what I would recommend anyway.
What I fail to see is how Artisteer is supposed to account for all the variable styling wants and needs of everybody out there using this to create Joomla! templates. It's friggin' IMpossible. It's a tool to get you to a solid foundation for a template and then you can take it from there.
Next thing you know people will be asking for options for their options. This ON TOP OF FACT that this aint just for Joomla! so then you gotta code for all the other platforms you support.
People think it's sooooo simple to add code in for every little item that's is a must have (to them). My suggestion would be to learn some CSS and do it yourself instead of being tied to a software to do it for you.

I wanted to share this with you, I just got help from Artisteer support, really helpfull!!
The link in the former post refers to Artisteer 3.1 for Joomla 2.5 (first proposed solution) ... which does not help for Joomla 1.5, which I needed ...
Solution, change in <templatename>\classes\ArtxContentItem.php :
return '<p class="readmore">' . artxLinkButton(array(
'classes' => array('a' => 'readon'),
'link' => $readmoreLink,
'content' => str_replace(' ', ' ', $readmore))) . '</p>';
into:
return '<p class="readmore">' .
'<a href="' . $this->_article->readmore_link . '">' .
str_replace(' ', ' ', $readmore) . '</a>' . '</p>';
This worked grest for me ...
cheers, Menno

I'm using joomla! 2.5 version, i have checked the parameters and the article options to disable this button.
I read all your posts and tried some tips but nothing is working.
Is there another way?
Thanks

In Artisteer I've made an template (for Joomla 2.5) based upon a example and this one has no button. So, it can be changed in Artisteer... But how??
I Want to change color..

The Joomla read more button doesn't show in the Artisteer 4 program.
You would style the button in the Styling > Controls All the buttons are the same style site wide. e.g. search, login, etc.
