It's funny how the centering is off, when you create circular blur in Photoshop. I guess that's why the texture of the brushed aluminum switches is aligned a couple of pixels to the lower left, right?
@Theis Kofoed Hjorth thats not circular blur homie, its done with a gradient. The ui is sized to match with the standard iOS iPhone ui parts and I just cant seem to get the gradient placed on the center pixel.
@Norm I guess I was a bit quick there. Normally I use some blurred noise, and everytime I select circular blur, it get's off a couple of pixels. It's nice though, a bit more toned down than your other examples.
Photoshop won't center gradients on a half pixel (in other words the real center on an evenly sized object).
For example: If you have something that's 5px wide, the center will be on pixel 3; but if it's a 4px wide object, the center will try to be on pixels 2 or 3 and neither of those are the center. It's annoying.

Sweet Norm, as always. However, the yellow seems a bit flat to me. Maybe something more goldish ?
