Thank you much!

Nope, haven't gotten around to it yet... I think I'll add it to my list.

There might be eventually. To tell you the truth, I've got the entire DVD set sitting on a shelf (was a very unexpected and awesome present), but so far I have not gotten around to watching it. I know, shame on me! I'm sure eventually I will and when I do there will most certainly be some related artwork!

You can go into the menu for a gallery and change the look. It's a dA feature. In the menu where you change the graphic of the gallery thumbnails it states the maximum size you can use. If you use PNG images, they can have transparent elements.

The buttons are individual graphics that I simply applied as a thumbnail to the respective gallery folders. Have a look around, I'm sure you'll find a specific tutorial around dA for that sort of thing.
