For buttons I would make a large oval and subdivide it into the necessary buttons

I like the image Style, really I do and I hope this isn't too presumptuous of me but, I think the image might work more for you if you were to begin by rotating it 180 degrees. Then for the title screen, trace the curves of the 2 points on either side down towards the new bottom and make it end in an upward arch. This would give you an oval space which you can then follow Brainiac idea. Also, I think the screen would look nice with a 1 pixel inner bevel.

I don't know if you can picture the way I can. Particulary when I suck at conveying my thoughts to others

We all know it looks just like your favorite toy you keep in your night stand China..hehe

btw...I like the idea that Raithe has...rotating for starters would look a little nicer.

It's indeed the shape that can be adjusted. This is like the fuel tank of the space shuttle. Why not try a large oval on the bottom, behind the current shape, where the left and right curves come towards you, that gives you a bit more space for necessary buttons. (Een krul zogezegd

I mean light comes from the left and from the front at this moment. The top part has light from front above. It would look better if you use one lightsource.
