I have tried bevelbuton and einhugur picture button....  but if the icon is 
irregularly shaped you Dan use gif transparency but it doesn't look very 3D.... 
also the button itself does not look very 3D....

Does the Mac make them look glassy or 3D via operating system like on iPhone?  
or do buttons just look real plain on Mac?

In Windows VB I used images that a designer created to look like buttons...and 
we had 3 states for hover, active and inactive...  has anyone done that in RB 
or is that just not a good wAy to go?  Drawback is if screen is maximized on 
large monitor images do not resize where as picture button I believe will 
resize...

Also for main window form... is there a way to make the areas around all the 
controls look more 3d or perhaps metal like iTunes?  Does that have to do with 
some sort of skinning?  Just dont want app to look boring plain gray...

Thanks 
T
