Here is the Controls panel. Did a custom record button and other UI elements for it :)
That record button is 3 individual shape layers with layer styles applied to it. that's all :) I love photoshop!
1 layer is the "indent" ring, the next is the metal button, and the last is the red circle. no other layers used :)
That button doesn't really excite me much. I think it could do with being a bit shinier. As it is I'm not drawn to click it as everything looks a little dull (in colour.)
@Mac, the banding is only on this image... not in the actual panel in the app. This is a photoshop comp.. but i have since turned it into the real thing :)
Thanks for the rebounds guys! Great stuff.
I had actually already revised it, and yours look similar to my revision :)
I had made it shinier and brighter, as well I added a circular metallic texture :)
I'll post my version later tonight when I'm back near my computer.
@Drew nope no project in mind, was just curious since I notice you create all these cool things for/by yourself. Makes me happy to see designers that are entrepreneurial and not only developers.
I decided to draw the whole window on my own. So, more work, but it will look more betterer :)
This is the record button when you are NOT recording anything... checkout the "recording" state here: https://drew.qx.ly/MIuS
I can't believe I am actually making good progress on this app! If i were a seasoned cocoa dev and not a complete n00b i prob would be done already :( still a ways to go.. since i dont know ANYTHING about cocoa & obj-c.
The overall design has a very non shinny look which I like. For contrast and texture difference it would be nice if the center red light was really shinny. Give it a glass effect. Your NOT recording design looks really good.

I agree with Stephan too! Otherwise it looks pretty nice! Maybe you could try out the dark menubar like in Quicktime X.

Need to fix the gradient banding and also make things more contrasted. Darker Red, harsher metal.

Looks good. Try making the grey area that aroids the red button more metallic.

Looking great.
Do you do client work at all? Or just entrepreneurial related projects? Genuinely interested...

I agree with y'all ... the more i look at it, the more it needs to POP! lol
@Yaron, usually no :) but it depends on the project... in the last year i've only done 1 client job. you got a project in mind?

Drew, nice work.
I think the record button could use a little love though, so here's something I whipped up. (Super messy) PSD is below. Hope you don't mind.

Might also want to add a glow to the record button, something I forgot to do
