going to be super picky here and you may not like it but it may be good advice for you to follow
I realise your trying to create new buttons but look at your font ?

LIVE TV all caps
MOVIES all caps
Tv Series mixed upper and lower case
Catch-Up mixed upper and lower
EPG all caps

you have spent the time making the buttons but have missed this critical point ?
only pointing this out so you will get better at what your trying to do m8 , also epg and catchup icons both rushed
you will know this yourself its rushed m8.

paint.net with plugins mate, way to go. But great work on making it easier for others to edit.

thats way better even without the last two buttons :)
a lot of the current apps can now display imdb backgrounds so the buttons need to be prominent on all types of backgrounds which is not easy to achive for sure :)
I normally use one type of style for most apps its not i cant produce others it is just i know they will work well I only change styles if requested by someone who is willing to pay for the time i take to do it :)
you seem to like the orange/gold look ? I would stick with that and refine it , I personally go for dark navy and blue as my primary colors its all down to taste. i have been doing buttons etc for a few years now but wiped my hard drive a couple of years ago and had a lot stored but started again , once you get started its a rabit hole your going down thats very deep :)
I will quite often when its quiet make a set of buttons that i may never use i just try stuff out.
When the imdb background apps first came out i think it was IBO 2.4 ? i found that really difficult to get a good set that i liked and i made a ton:) with XCIPTV or SMARTERs the backgrounds used to be static so it was easy to keep the background image less busy so the buttons stood out more with todays changing backgrounds the buttons need a lot more thought to them for sure.
Keep up the very good work you do for the members on here but try not to spoonfeed to much :)
apps have many aspects to them , code ,panels,graphics if one is off the app suffers but when its right its bang on
The recent BOB player that was on here for some reason has one of the best live tv interfaces out there , its nothing special it just works better than others
