Well, the image doesn't fit any more. If you really consider the need
that some users need to blow up the text to this size, create bigger
images. However, this is the danger of these tests: Breaking them is
easy but would a needy user really need text that big or would a
screen magnifier be needed anyways?

Photoshop CS2, comes with a rounded corners shape and a good gradient
tool. Also, presets for plastic buttons.

There is also a plethora of tutorials out there:
