Title: Would you like this button set? [Now completed]
Post by: Tom on April 25, 2004, 06:37:16 PM
I've decided to try to make a button set, and this is what I have done so far. I'd like to know if people like what I have and would like to see a complete set. If you have any suggestions that would also be great.

(Btw, what happened to being able to attach files?)

Looks nice,  I wouldn't use them personally though.

Nice clean design, but I think the 3D shadow effect on the buttons and drop shadow below could currently be misinterpreted as a single entity behind 'transparent' buttons.

Ok, thanks guys, I'm going to try to finish the theme.  :)

Peter, I try and see how they look without the drop shadow. (I think I'm still going to stick with the 3D shadow effect though.)

Pretty nice but kinda boring, add a background color, if you dont like that idea, make a very light BG color such as light gray. :D

Good Luck!

That shadow is going to cause a problem if you plan on making them transparent unless you only offer it for white backgrounds.

Original though, nice work

P.S. I like your buttons.

Added to the archive. You didnt supply a name for the set so I used "White - Blue Button Set".

Is that ok or do you have a name?

Thank you! No, the background is not transparent.

Yes, it would be possible to make them in other colors. Unfortunately it would be hard to change the color of the icons because while making them in photoshop I just merged the layer and copied and pasted (still have all the other pds's tho), but I'll see what I can do.

Yes, thats fine. I've never been very creative when thinking of names.
