Thanks. I found the cluster of buttons on http://www.dreaminfinity.com/htmlversion/main.shtml . Although I see the style you mean, I think those are fundimentally more artistic than the ones you presented. The backgrounds do contain some imagary (e.g. the eyeballs) and the text is other than a simple thin font.

In keeping with that genre, how about a background that's gradiated from blue to brown top to bottom, with a camel, all made as a "background" image. Then words, Like "PerlMonks" in a fat font with slight 3-d effect or edging to make it obviously the foreground.

    #comment: first of all, look at the size of this Re: going on :-)

    But yeah, I see what you mean about the imagery. I can start to do some stuff like what you were talking about with the camel. I just need to get some different fonts for this linux box I have, and am using, because I only still have the base set of fonts, which almost all look just like typewriting text, with a few exceptions :-)

    By the way, do you have any idea where I could get some standard fonts that would be compatible with RH linux? Thanks! And thanks for your input too!

      Does it work with TT fonts? The ones that come with Windows and Office are decent now.

      From Bitstream you can get a CD full of high-quality stuff (TT and PS format) for pretty cheap.

        I'm not sure if TT ones work with RH linux, but if they do ... I'll make sure to test some out ... I have a cd of fonts from a long time ago, i'm not sure if they were TT fonts. I'll have to check. If so, that'd be great! I'll just have to find me some collections for cheap somewhere ...
