@Coen van Hasselt For me, because they are translucent black it almost looks more like they should be lower than the wood, like they're indented. The inner shadow that implys the solid blue highlight is actually lower than the glassy black shapes feels a little miss matched.
@Joey Rabbitt, there's an ambiguity to those dark buttons...are they a smokey piece of glass on top of the wood, or are they a darker wood inset into the menubar surface. If the former, the inset shadow is confusing, if the ladder it's fine, right? Maybe better to correct the ambiguity.
@Andrew Liebchen I think the thing that's not sitting right is the mix of translucent and solid colour.. The indented solid blue is what makes me think the glassy buttons don't quite match up.
@Joey Rabbitt your slowly moving away from the subject, but i do get what you mean, the black buttons do indeed not fit well in the design. It would be better if these black buttons where made of a lighter wood that pushes out, so it fits the wood.

Haven't posted something decent in a while so hopefully this snapshot will remedy that. It's a small piece of a bigger project, still WIP.

I like it! On first glance it feels like the translucent black buttons should have the same inner shadow that the blue filter has...

@Joey Rabbitt I don't think so. The blue button has the inner shadow for a reason to show you it's active.

A border around the image on the right would make it more "viewable" i think - otherwise it looks great!

@Steffen Nørgaard Andersen I'm hoping the dark background will solve that.
