Have you produced them (semi-)automatically? I'm contacting you because I'm concerned with the images in the set being overcropped, so they cannot be used as is and need to add some margin. But doing that manualy to 25 images is a big pain. So if you have this automated, can you please add a little margin to the original and redo the set?
is it the button images that you think need more margin? i actually cropped those down intentionally after looking at how some of the more popular buttons were done (ie, blogger, paypal, etc). all of them were cropped right to the border of the button so that's what i did. however, i can easily generate new images with a margin if you think they'll work better. i'll just need to know what type of margin you're looking for (width, color or transparent, etc.).
I've reviewed the set again and I feel that the following subsets are overcropped:
button-text-outlined-* (because the black border actually steals from the margin)
mod_perl-final-* - this subset is my main complain because:
1) it's overcropped as i mentioned before
2) the gear placement looks very misbalanced white space-wise. Adding a bit of a white margin around and may be lowering the gear a bit down, to align it to center vertically will make it perfect.
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.
BTW, for the text-* buttons, is there a better font for 'POWERED BY'? it doesn't look very slick. May be using 'Powered by' will be neater? or a different family font?
sorry for that many complaints :)
