Making progress but a lot of work yet to do. This is my first blind so comments are welcome!
Start button is animated, but screenshot does not show it.

Thanks Brainiac!
I have spent the last day working on the command module buttons and I think I have them the way I want them ( or is limited to what can be done)... Not really my original concept, but I must keep moving forward on this and make changes and sacrifices as I go!

You had to add the gray stripe to the bottom of your command bar, huh. Sorry that you had to compromise there
Buttons look great, though

While it looks very good with the gray bar, it wasn't really what he wanted...the frustration sux, but...you found an elegant solution Heigar. Congratz!

Kinda sucks, but it was either add the gray bar or add the blue from the infopane to make it look higher, but then realized that not everyone has their infopane on top!
Thanks!
Thanks, I guess it was better to try something different to achieve somewhat of what I had in mind than scrapping the whole project over some silly little limitation!

It all looks very polished...except for the antialiasing on the window frame tops and start menu tops(corners)

I'll hit those corners when I go through and fine tune areas that need it. Shouldn't be to much of a hassle..( I hope, unlike some of the other parts!) I've done so much of create, save, apply, edit, save, apply, edit, save, apply and a few changes to areas that I originaly had done that I am suprised I am as far along as I am!

If anyone is interested or didn't realize, I have stumbled upon while playing around that the reserved images the last two images of the command module buttons is that when I put the normal image in the first reserved position and a mousover image for the other reserved it makes the splitbutton act like seperate buttons.
( normal,mouseover,pressed,selected,reserved,reserved)
