ivo - what adam refers to is the effect of creating too much sense of artificial depth (the bevels) to where the interface appears impossible and unrealistic. the aqua style is inherently tactile, so you want to respect what is possible and not possible in lighting and materials. you're coming pretty close to "too far" with the gradients, but the work is nice

The fear with something like this is that you start the layered cake effect. But this side-steps that and is done very nicely.
