thanks again for the work MrC! I did an edit of menu_home_active.gif
and removed the emboss effect. Basically, you are left with a glow
effect on a flat icon, which is what I had envisioned. It's attached. 

I'm going to give the other icons another shot, so you may want to hold
off for now on spending more time on this.

Also, I don't think I was clear on the mouseOver stuff-- the Nokia 770
doesn't show any mouseOver effects, as there is no mouse. None. So what
I'm going to be doing with these icons is display the 'active' icon for
whatever page you are on. i.e., if you are at home,
menu_home_active.gif shows up on the nav bar instead of menu_home.gif.
No javascript effects, just html dynamically decided upon by the
templates.

cheers,
#!/ben
