Alan, these are from GUIFX, and while I've read complaints about there flow, I want to look at these examples just from the design/aesthetics stand point.
This one has many different shapes and colors and also adds a great deal of depth and shading. While at the same time, these elements look like they could be easily used to create a great interface.
I really like the look and shading of these graphics, however it's so dark and with all the added shading, the buttons themselves are actually small.
These are just some quick examples that came to mind.
