    Default Shiny Button - or not?!

    Hi All.

    Here is a button I was drawing and playing with and not finished by any stretch of the imagination.

    Then I thought:-

    How would everyone else make it shiny? What would you add and change?
    or
    How would everyone else make it different, if not shiny?

    Feel free to make any changes you like.

    BTW: It was done using Named Colours so you can easily make it any colour you like.
    The name of the named colour is 'thumb'. Please don't ask why?!

    So, let's see yours.

    How about a shining light?

    Bill.

    A shining light. Can I be honest and say that I didn't think of that!

    And I love the background you've done.

    Now that you've started that, it makes me wonder what others are going to come up with?

    The first one is truly BRIGHT John!
    And an animated on as well?!

    Then an alternative DARK one from Gary.
    There's some sort an attraction, if you look at it for long enough.
    So, be careful guys and gals.
    It not just the stereograms that Gary uses to hypnotise us, it could be any drawing!
    Looks very good Gary.

    Now, it makes me think if I should change my tact and go for a different look.
    I've been playing with the usual 'window' reflections etc...

    So far, we've had 'light', 'bright' and 'dark'

    Well, I just had to try Bill's background.
    Very good indeed Bill. A very good lesson, for me anyway.
    I just never remember to look at all the different Transparency types.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
