yeah, i played with that a bit before. the lowercase letters make it a bit tricky to get a good 'balance'. i'll try to come up with a better alignment. > How much to add? I don't know, just a bit, you know what I mean. e.g. > button-110x30 looks pretty ballanced (though again the gear could go > just a bit lower) and has enough margin. Regarding color and the > transparency, it's the same as the used background, nothing special. aha. i thought you were referring to the part of the image outside of the border. my bad, this makes more sense now. i'll try to insert some more whitespace and tweak the alignment a bit. the lowercase 'p' really throws everything off, but i suppose that's non-negotiable ;-) > BTW, for the text-* buttons, is there a better font for 'POWERED BY'? it > doesn't look very slick.
