Default New Navigation Buttons

I changed the navigation buttons at the top of the screen... not really because they had to be replaced, but rather because the old ones were not Photoshop files and I wouldn't be able to edit them with Photoshop once I change the red section. It won't be "link" for long.

Hmm... this is going to take some getting used to.

I like the looks of the new buttons. It fits more with the selection buttons on the home page!

You should make them look like buttons in the car like cruise control and ac and stuff with a little bar that lights up when you hover over them or something. Like you are turning them on.

Haha, I could. But, to be honest it wouldn't really fit the theme. If I got creative with it, it likely wouldn't be obvious that they related to lights in a car.

The new buttons are growing on me. I hated them at first, to be honest, but they do fit the theme better. I think I'm going to edit them a bit so they're more... creative. But, the general look should stay the same.

what about making the line a little thicker under the selected button? Have you tried that?

Perhaps. See how on the top the darker part dips down in the middle? I think I'd make to have them all connected in a wide horizontal shape... so instead of just a dip, it's like the lower part of an oval that connects all the buttons. More curved. Perhaps I'll make the "dark" gradient under the buttons (of the active section) have a dark line right under the button.

Come to think of it, why not have the "hover" image be the default image when you're in that section?
