Just working on a first set of icons. I saw some glass ones made before and was interested in making my own. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome...

Wow, nobody has EVER done glass icons like that before. It's interesting that you even placed the App icons inside them. Brilliant, simply brilliant! Why didn't people think of this when OS X first came out?

Sorry... not doing much for me.

Sorry, thoughtful/useful suggestions are helpful. I couldn't find these glass apps anywhere and kind of liked them. But thanks for your comments Spaz, they sure helped me figure out how to make them better...

I've been using Glassy buttons for a while, but the set was far from complete. I'd say go for it

Gerrit,
thanks for that link. Some really nice stuff at that site. Nice design, too.

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

EXACTLY Gerrit! That was the link I was looking for... I wanted those icons, and then to fill in what wasn't there. Perfect. Thank you.

Looking great! Please finish them.. I had a set I was working on a couple years ago, but never went all the way.. (they were a Linux set). Here is a screen shot of a few, dont know if they will give you any ideas.
