Now there's a thought. I'll do that. Thanks Jafo.

Magnification at 300% The white rectangle is part of the square bit. Copy/paste takes the bevel/emboss and gradient out of it. Its like it wasn't even there.

Re-did the background. Global light turned off.

Little more work on the overlay bits

To add to my last comment.... the main bar is bright/light where the upper part of the square bits is very dark....the sort of thing that implies they are hollow and thus in shadow...though the lower part of of the square bits is dark - matching the lower edge of the main bar and is thus equally convex....so the overall lighting of the square bits are confusing - in conflict.

The 'solution' is to lighten the top shadow section of the square bits...to reinforce the appearance/representation of a convex form.

The only real time you can have that effect of altered shadow is if the square bits are themselves self-lit and forcing a shadow change... like you get with glass/chrome reflections, etc.  Then you get 'hard'/dark sections in 'odd' places....;)

update - resized to 800x500 - more adjustments, more tweaking. Added some, deleted some. Getting there.

Liberty IX............ Might actually get to release this one!!  It has some special titlebar buttons.....

Why does PhotoBucket reduce my images to 1697x954 when it's supposed to be 1920x1080????  Grrrrrrrrr..........

Liberty IX looks great!

Looks great, Bryan!

Thanks Cyndie, I'll look at ImageShack..........

My WIP? It's a blind that matches my avatar in design...same lighting effect pattern in green and blue w/ grey and yellowy orange highlights. XP done, Vista almost done...Working on 7....

Having a problem centering gauges ... again. I don't know if they're upside down or not. At this point i'm too tired to care. I think i ate something that is not agreeing with me. Got the chills and everything.
