They do look nice with no/less shadow, definitely like that. The thing I don't like about the originals is that they are too 3D and round or something. I think they would look better if the shadow highlight under the buttons were darker instead of lighter, if that makes sense. I like the Pro Tools buttons which are a really sharp 2 color gradient, just half the button lighter and half darker. I don't like when things start to get too fancy!

It was the solo button. I just grabbed it from a screen cap and moved the edges so that it would fit exactly over the v3 buttons (after I removed the shadow). And yeah, just traced over the v3 icons into a new layer and put that on top of the new button background for each button.
The thing that I realized was really off with the originals is that the shadow changes color from top to button. Near the top it becomes almost the same color as the outline of the button, which gives the eye the impression that the button is misshapen; bigger at the top than the bottom.
Okey dokey, I will get to work today.
