Very nice. I have been playing around a lot with Expression 3 as well. Mind if I ask how you did the reflection? I haven't figured out yet how to make things look like they are fading out in Expression, I end up adding that in The GIMP.

The reflection is actually only in the preview, not on the icon itself. I did make the reflection in Expression though, so here's what I did: I duplicated the screen only, then removed the gloss. Next, I rotated it 180 degrees and shrank the vertical height to make it more like a reflection, and I lowered the transparency for the reflection overall. Then I duplicated the reflection and restored the duplicate to be fully opaque. I got rid of the border and made the fill a white to transparent gradient and resized it so that it would be the exact size of the reflection. I played around with the white-to-transparent gradient and the reflection's placement until I was more or less satisfied. I'm sure that's a very ghetto way of doing it, but I only started playing around with Expression yesterday after beginning with Inkscape a couple weeks ago.
