    This isn't up yet -- Haven't done any of the rollover states:




    They're a little heavy, actually, next to the gear, which is the same
    color but about half the visual weight .... I'm wondering if I should
    do a gear inside of the same kind of circle, but I think I'd have to
    lose the triangle to do it to keep it from looking weird. The gear is
    also a 10 px diameter circle whereas close/plus/minus are two pixel
    diameters. To beef up the gear means making it wider, though, to
    maintain the same proportions with the triangle. I'm not sure it will
    still be enough, either. Opinions? Am I being too picky? Actually, I
    think the gear should definitely be 12 px diameter now that I'm
    looking at it. It would look a lot better. Time to head home, but
    I'll clean it up tonight. That might be enough to just make it the
    same size. I'm curious what the X would look like as that + turned 45
    degrees also rather than the thinner Safari-style X that it is now. I
    think at 45 degrees the arms might not be long enough -- it might turn
    into a gray mush when it antialiases that angle. Oh well.
