I'm thinking of writing a couple more posts about the little details that improve the overall look and feel of interfaces. If you guys have any thoughts or idea

  Definitely, i like your style. I am learning how to make pixel-perfect interface elements. How about the the whole armada. Maybe you could roll out a jQueryUI skin with a proper documentation on how you did it. Remeber the sleek Winamp skins we used to love so much? I couldn't find a complete walkthrough on how to make one.

  I have an idea: on a touch platform when you press a button you don't see the surface of the button. In a couple of places Apple has created a nice "flare" effect: http://skitch.com/memengoinc/n68cp/screen-shot-2010-04-10-at-10.41.15-am http://skitch.com/memengoinc/n68cp/screen-shot-2010-04-10-at... I couldn't replicate that one myself either. Maybe you can? It will probably help you designing mobile websites. :-)

  This was a very great writeup. Thanks! I’m overzealous with keeping the amount of tags in my markup minimal. The button in this post looks sharp and detailed, but it would be nice to see a comparison with the same button being constructed with less tags. ie: just the anchor and one bold tag, or just the anchor, in addition to showing the best-looking result with three tags.

    A quick note about the markup: initially I was using the Google style pseudo rounded corner buttons that used 3 nested b tags. So part of this design was just me being lazy. But later I realized the alpha blending on the borders meant I needed at least 2 of them.

    You can just have JavaScript that switches out one tag for a bunch.

      Trivial, with jQuery!
