These look AWESOME! Great work!

The only thing I would comment on is the banding in the background image 
(the buttons look fine but it's noticeable in the banners on my 
monitor)... we could Gimp the bg up a bit to make the gradients 
smoother? The way I did that for the non-wallpaper artwork was to add 
some noise using HSV Scatter i think, then using a light gaussian blur.

If I have time tonight I'll play with the banner designs a bit. They 
look great though, just that one technical issue.
