New buttons as requested by Matthias. 18 in total. Source files are available. The rendering of the green texture isn't perfect on some of them (inskape's jpeg texture rendering in pre4 has issues). If anyone wants one re-rendered, just ask, or get the source files and render them yourselves :)

I'm no designer, by any means, so please take gently on my opinions to this list.

I really like these new buttons, but I think the sub texts “Join me at..”, “I support free culture”, &c. are somewhat too dominant. At first I thought the texts were in black, but later realized they were actually dark green. Would a slightly lighter, more dull, green make the texts disappear entirely?
P.S! Are all the dark green colours the same? I haven't checked, but some of them appear to differ slightly in their shade.

I also very much like them.

Might be worth a try. But think they are already very very good :)

Don't know, the resource for colors is (or should) be here: http://www.fsfe.org/contribute/designers/styleguide.en.html
