Hello everybody.

I made some UI-widgets which fit quite well with the rest of the look (I think). That means: no shadows, no raised bevels, just lines (more or less).
The controls with the brighter Border are mouse-over-effects.

Excellent work. I think it fits with the rest of the look very well.

I like it too. Fits quite well. The only thing I'd change is I think the combo box should stay rectanguler. The buttons and colors are just about perfect, though.

Looks good, I like the widgets okarena had for the music volume controls. These buttons fit with the theme well.

A new version:
Listbox, textfield and nicer scrollbars. I still don't like the look of the selected item in the listbox.
I also made the background semi-transparent.
The only thing I'd change is I think the combo box should stay rectanguler.
I changed the left side, but too many rectangles would make the look too boring (IMHO).

Transparency looks good, should be a bit darker though, because the background is distracting as well as pretty :)

Okarena, how to do it depends entirely on which program you are using. If it's GIMP, I might be able to help you, other programs I probably can't.
