I'm overhauling my website yet again, and I need some input on the menu bar buttons. Which one do you like the best on the link above. Vote for it. Thanks for any/all input!

None of the buttons showed up at all for me (just white blank spaces).

I'm running Mozilla Phoenix 0.5, with JavaScript on but rather restricted, and no Flash installed.

Plain square is nicest shape for functionality, grey is most ledgible. The chrome is very hard reading, and the McOS styles are better, but still not as easy as the plain no-fades. Grey is lighter than blue, and so easier to read the black text. Other possibility, go for very dark buttons with lighter text on them.

Yeah.... well... plain gray got 3, and the total votes was 12, so as usual the majority looses, 25% representation. You shoulda' put a fair representative mix up there, ya tyrant. :twisted: :wink:

Back to reality... Looks good, on that page plain gray would have been be just so... gray.
