I've forced myself to learn it to wean myself from dependency on $700 programs. Not working for this since I'm using Fireworks right now. Meanwhile, I just replaced the test image because I forgot to number it. Scroll up and take a look at its replacement.

buttons look nicer. They each have a slightly different apearance. Is that to show different aproaches? If so, I like the edit one the best.

I made a few more changes after my last post - could you check to see if they're still different? Because I don't see a difference now, but I didn't look that closely before.

I'm refering to the blue border you have around them.

hrm that's weird. Didn't even notice that. Oh well, must've forgotten to move a change to the rest of the buttons or something. Made the rest of them look like Edit. Going for the night now, will work on making more buttons tomorrow. Will try to get a good set of buttons first, then start working on a better border skin based on that style.

Okie dokie.

Just to hate....why don't you make triangle buttons instead of having triangles inside the rounded rectangle buttons?

[fluid]

Since you asked, here's why: The style of the logo is yellow text on a black triangle with a cyanish border. On top of the blue background that will be used for the content cell, the yellow looks hideous. So I put dark blue behind it. I then use the rounded rectangle button motif as a border for the dark blue region. I couldn't find a way to make the yellow text work without putting something dark behind it. A button border seemed the most logical way to hide it.

Thanks for volunteering G. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

You do anymore on those?

I've been doing some work here and there. I'll post once I get a decent spread of buttons - right now I've got about a dozen, but most of them still need some sort of picture or icon because I'm drawing a blank on what to put on them.

Here's what I've got as far as "finished" buttons go. I'm working on all the buttons with text first, next will be all the cosmetic buttons (expanding, collapsing, etc).




I've been staring at these so long I don't know what's what any more. Criticism welcome.

You have a lot of talent.

For those that don't know, Fluid also did our site logos which are very cool.
