I like this one as well. So to summarise, if someone could be so kind, I'd like to see:

• ZincAlloy's Cabbiev2 button style
• BdN3504's idea with the background
• EternalRains' icon idea

How would it look if the arrow was on one side, and the key on the other? The arrow might need to be a bit lighter to avoid the tilting the weight..

I like the gradient/texture and font rendering of ZincAlloy's button better - maybe a combination could be made, using BdN3504's layout and idea with the cabbiev2-style button as base?

I liked my old version better..

I agree. That didn't quite work out as I'd hoped.

My attempt to get something closer to ZincAlloy's button style:

Zinc, can you please share the original to make it easier for us to see how you do it?

get the cabbiev2 graphics file and save the style: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DefaultWPS/cabbie2graphics.zip
the highlight is just a smaller version of the button shape, semi opaque and fading away.

More cabbie-ish version:

Had a go myself. Probably should be a bit smaller

Edit: smaller versions.. feel a bit cramped

I would vote for this version    If "Installer" gets center aligned under "Download", that would give "more room feeling", in my opinion. And note that in the smaller version, the Rockbox logo fade is less subtle, which also may contribute to the cramped feeling you mention...

I think the background still looks a bit busy with the "full depth" logo (even if lighter) and so the font isn't readable everywhere. Did someone try using a plain version similar to the cabbiev2 background there, probably not in light grey though ?


P.S.: I somehow liked the idea to use the favicon "note" somewhere in general, although the first result wasn't so nice.

using a plain version similar to the cabbiev2 background

Update: added layer shadow and rounded the corners a bit.

Great idea - I added some letters for easier ID.
