How do I make these buttons more 'shiny' ?

Hi

I need to rebuild the attached buttons and make them slightly larger/clearer and also slightly more 'shiny'.

I have never been able to get the 'slightly 3D' look to work properly.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ship,

It's not too hard..
Review some of the threads at TG and workbooks at the xaraxone

Hi Ship,

Would that be "metalic" shiny, "glass" shiny, "gel" shiny, "plastic" shiny, or some other shiny?

I agree with Steve that the threads and XaraXone links provided in his link offer many choices.

Yes if you click Sledge's link I can confirm that the Gel Button Generator is very good.

Hi Shiphen.

Recently I went through this exercise.

There was a ton of stuff in my thread but here is a quick shiny button.

I've attached my button file. It's done with linked colours.
