Are there any? I liked the original glass buttons from iChat 1, and none too keen on the new plastic/grey ones. Has anyone come up with a nice glass varient, or gloss?


Thanks

It's down just now, but will be up at this address by the end of the week.

It'll take me a few days to get the widgets ready, doing it in my spare time.

Thanks for the interest.

I've had a little attempt at it this morning, it's very early stages. Just finished the buttons, need to add the text, and graphics, and so on. I'll probably have it done for the weekend.

Let me know what you think.



Here it is demetallifised with one of the old buttons at the end.

I'm just mucking around just now, but I'm begininng to think of doing something a little softer. I'll wait till I finish the gloss buttons then try something like this.

Hey,

thanks so much for the compliments. I'm nearly done with it, and hopefully will be able to make it available tomorrow, had one of those weekends where I just crashed out watching films

Those look much better than the stock icons: I can't wait until they are released!

Hey, thanks for all the interest, and compliments.
Well, it's about time I released something, so here you go.
It's still a work in progress, and at the moment, my personal life is taking a bit of a battering, so things are a bit slow to get finished, but I've modded the buddies list window, and will hopefully get the rest done as soon as.

Let me know what you think, any ideas, suggestions, problems are welcome.

Hope you like them.

My apologies for bumping up a thread, but are these still available anywhere? I get a 404 error on his site.
