Metal UI Buttons
A nice collection of metal buttons created using CSS3. The symbols used here are created with the help of "pictos" font by using @font-face. The metal effect on the buttons is created using the box-shadow and linear-gradient properties. There are two gradients used basically, one is linear and the second one is radial to make the effect much nicer.
Same effect can be used on navigation bars, buttons etc., and these look great in every major browser except Internet Explorer 8 and below as they do not support the gradients and box shadows. Please take a look at the source code to understand more about them.
