Surprised u dont like the tinted glass, also to fix your led problem did u try cutting wax paper and sticking them in the top of the buttons, it should even out the light and make it look nicer.

You could also try lightly sanding the led surface with sandpaper or an emery board. That worked for me.
Franco B:
Looking good!
I must say I prefer the look of the clear buttons to the Electric Ice ones, I cant say I have ever been a fan of them.
That CP looks sharp 8)
I take it you are not a Street Fighter fan?

I haven't given up on the tinted glass yet. Last night I adjusted the brightness and contrast settings of the video card, using the Nvidia control panel. It actually shows a tiny TV test pattern which is extremely helpful if you know how to read it. I also put in some adjustments in "vector.ini" to brighten up the vector games, and I'm much happier with the look now.
I already have diffuser discs (from GroovyGameGear) in the buttons, they help. Since tuning down the brightness I think the buttons will be okay.

You are correct. I designed it to be hostile to that game. So if somebody comes in and wants to play Street Fighter, I have an excuse not to. "Sorry, don't have the controls for it. How about a nice two-player game of Joust? Rip Off? Gauntlet? Alien Syndrome? Raiden? Wizard of Wor?"
