I liked yours so much I thought I would offer my take on non-standard
"pretty" form elements. I feel like these are tough to design because if you have too much of the 3D effect it makes the button text feel off, like it needs to be angled back more and squished down a bit to give it some perspective.
This was my attempt at making the buttons "look right" but still have that 3D look.
A nice take. You're right, it's a challenge getting a 3D effect like this to look right. Your gray boxes look really nice, especially the dropdown. Although I feel like the extended state needs more shadow on the sides so the whole element looks like it has a uniform depth. The shadow on the pink box looks a touch too dark. The checkmark in the checkbox is a little blurry as well as the slider handle, but I know this is just an experiment. I'll stop. :)

@Phil Limited time to tweak something I shouldn't have even started messing with in the first place. ;) But yeah. You're right.

@Chris - I know nothing about spending time I don't have on something I shouldn't have started messing with in the first place. :)

I disagree with pink (personally), but these are so clean and pretty.
