Do I finally have the Aqua look down?

[Ricky]

Alright, I refined the button's Aqua look (A LOT) and made a tutorial. Let's see what you guys think. It was a hit at macintosh.fryke.com!

How's this

Well, it's not the Aqua look, but it's an Aqua look. I think Ricky's is right on the money, but yours looks good as an Aqua-inspired button.

Heh, yeah...too real.

Here is my first attempt at aqua style. The coastline border is not smoth so the effect is lost a bit.
What do you think? Any tips for improvement?

I used some of the tutorials and then worked it the way I know how to do things.

It's for P6 but you can simplify accordingly it's pretty cool

Using vectors?

I've seen that tutorial. I don't like it that much. I think Ricky needs to do a tutorial. Maybe in the Howto section.

You guys are funny.

LOL, sorry, I tend to not pay attention to everything that's come before (or forget about it if it's not completely relevant to me at the moment). Anywho...

I think it's time for bed, because even my browser's having memory problems.
