Is it me or the images (decal) of the buttons are distorted?
They look all shrinked, not smoothly resized.
Maybe they lost their alpha layer?
Example:
Definitely distorted...
I just thought it was only the attached pic which was distorted, but even the actual button decals are a bit rough/distorted.

Just as a point of note Prabhakant Patil, a lot of your icon decal images are licensed under the GPL (General Public License) as deemed by the original artists. The terms of the GPL require that you maintain the GPL conditions in your distributions, therefore you ought to link to and state the GPL in this document. Consequently, anyone who downloads and uses your controls must acknowledge and adopt the GPL license themselves. This effectively enforces their software dsitributions to be held under the same license, which isn't something my company would ever approve - therefore I can't personally use your controls.

Nice catch, Thoric.
Prabhakant Patil, you may want to contact the owners of these icons and ask them for a special BSD license agreement so you can distribute them without keeping them open-source, and so you can redistribute them under the BSD license that our community likes to use.
These are very nice and there are so many choices! If you do not sell the software this is used in, is it considered a violation of the license?
Denise, GPL is 'viral' and GPL applies to any publication of the licensed code and work containing this. So if you use it personally only - or maybe within your company - you do not publish it AFAIK. I am not really sure about the company thing, though.
Finally it is not very usefull in commercial companies nor in commercial products, but simply not selling a product does not fall out of the scope of GPL.
GPL requires anyone creating a work with GPL-licensed components to put the complete created product under GPL as well AND TO PUBLISH ALL ITS SOURCES. There are just very small and hard-to-go ways to circumvent this.
Using LGPL was much much easier!
