Nice Concept tom, the main thing that struck me as I first saw it tho is the lock area is egg shaped, oval, not circular?

Just for clarity, I opened it in PS and checked, it is actually round, John.
Look pretty nice, Tom!!

Really good concept Tom. I like the airlock effect. Can't wait to see where this goes.

I think u may need to check that again Jum.. its 4 pixels wider than it is tall > Oval.
I could tell just by eyeing it..been doing this toooo long.. but I opened in PS also just now, just to make sure I wasn't losing my touch.

Yep, definitely 4 pixels wider, checked it myself. Jim, put those glasses on!

Folks, throughout working on the animation I was quite unhappy about the effect as a result when my wife came saying : "It clearly needs some depth. The startmenu upon the animation has a light on the edges. If you keep it that way, the airlock effect won't be visible. Such as this it is looking like metal curtain opening" I need to say, she is no skinner and probably had never said anything about my skins in terms of processing.
But she could hardly said anything better but this. I was thinking about it more and more. Then I was jogging, 3 miles as every day and could not stop thinking of that. Well, this is what is just crossing my mind. As well as I have just fixed the oval. Should be now at 123x123 px. If I am wrong, just talk to me. So here is the screenie :

Definitely round now on the airlock Tom! I must say though that I like the layout of the original after animation start menu better though, especially at the top.

Agreed Tom. But if I keep the first version of after startmenu anim, the airlock effect will not be fine. A depth gives a nice effect to it.

Well, shit. I can't believe what I did...
I feel so stupid. I opened it in PS, surrounded it with guides, and drew a circle over it. Duh, that was so stoopid. Sorry.
