I didn't make the buttons transparent coz they are too small, they don't look too smooth in gif

Yeah, very nice!! Can I add them to the database?

sure

Cool... thanks!

ok, here's some helpful criticism (just to balance off Deb~'s boundless enthusiasm )

from what I can tell, that's Times New Roman you're using as a font there. Never ever ever *ever* use Times New Roman, unless Comic Sans is your only alternative.

second of all, your tracking (letter-spacing) is different in each one of the buttons. it's more important to get them consistent than to get them all to fit in the same size square.

just some friendly help!

Garrett....

But thanks for giving Ice some tips... looking now I agree with the tracking... but I don't mind da font. Why shouldn't it EVER be used??

well ... Times New Roman is ... how shall I put it? ... a very pedestrian font. I see it used all the time by people who have no idea what good typography is and don't care either. Times New Roman is good in a few scarce places, but it's at the bottom of the ladder for serif fonts, in my opinion

Thx for the advise garrettnelson.
I did learn some typography, I chose Times coz I was too lazy and it's most common font for public.
I don't have too much fonts on my computer atm since I haven't installed CorelDraw yet.
Choosing fonts by using Photoshop is pain in the ass. I won't use times new roman for my board either. Anyway, I should have CorelDraw installed and do better work next time when I decide to post new theme.
