They're gorgeous, but with two significant omissions:
1. bevels - every other of the core set of image enhancement

2. while these image enhancements work with all objects
(and beautifully so), the wonderful gradients added
in the last version are limited to graphic objects
only. I can think of a great many cases where I'd
like to use button objects with gradients and shadows,
I don't know what all the fuss is about as I seem to always be
'breaking the rules' by using IMAGES, FIELDS and GRAPHICS
as BUTTONS.
A GRAPHIC object layered above a text field with all the
jazzy gradients can then be grouped with the text field
(or button, for that matter) to achieve all sorts of
spectacular results.
I've made my share of custom controls, and with Rev 3.5's new Behaviors
and group-specific messages it's easier now more than ever.
But still not as easy as using a built-in button, esp. when all one
wants is a gradient effect that the engine already support but for a
different object type.
