button and navigation bar cool button I made

[raint567]

Here is a button I made with Xara WD7 I like this button so much that I'm going to share it. Just down. the attach xara file and enjoy. Let me know if you like it and if you modified it share the new button. If you have a cool button or Nav. bar that you made show it off here and share it with other member.

I just tweaked your button design.

Well, for me, a cool button has a surprise or does something unusual. (For example, check out the buttons on the Xara Xone home page www.xaraxone.com). The mouse over state is a bit of a surprise because it is not a button shape and the color is different and not necessarily what you might expect.

Another member recently posted a genuinely cool nav bar in which the buttons were arc shaped and formed a circle. Those were both unexpected and way cool.

But your thread is certainly a thought starter and a challenge.

Anyone have a better button design?

Not better, just different.

Not bad this button feels a bit more smooth. I like the light/transparent effect on the top, you did that with the pen tool? I use the rectangle tool, I need some practice with that tool.
