Aqua-Soft ForumsAll that is missing from the themes....is there one that has it? I've seen it on the aqua apps, and I'm wondering if there is a way to make all the buttons like that. that would be cool.
Animated Buttons
You can with windowblinds. I'm seriously considering adding it. I am kinda researching it I still need to work out some things with it before I really start using it.
If you need beta testing, I'll be glad to help.
Is there really no way? I think that if even a windows hack would be made for animated buttons, it would be used, even if buggy...I want! 
Judge has allowed me to edit his Window Blinds theme, and in doing so, I found his animation for active(mouse over) buttons. It pulses just like OS X.
When I tried making a animated button it it seemed to ignore the transparent parts as it is animating and add a black frame at the end of the sequence.
