Hello, I'm a graphic designer and I am wanting to add a skype button to one of my client's site. I would like to use the large skype button that shows the status, but it does not have transparency which doesn't work for the design of the page I am making. I have seen the smaller transparent button, but it doesn't work very well for the page design as the larger button would be my first choice.
Is there a large skype button with transparency?
Can I create my own custom skype buttons (graphically) and integrate them for designs of pages using the same functionality of the 'official' Skype buttons?
Is there somewhere within the skype site where users can create a library of buttons to be used as basically a library for all skype users to browse specifically for this purpose (ie, button wizard)? I think this would be a nice feature for customization.

I think it would be a great feature for Skype to include in the Skype community. It would allow users that utilize this feature added flexibility to 'skin' these buttons.

I am a graphic designer too.
I have adapted in Bulgarian one of the 2 Skype corporate fonts under a written permission by his author. I named the new font Asparuh Yuvigi. Please, take a look at some expamples here: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?&p=272034 (The post is in Bulgarian; please, look at the pictures)
I know the main question is to allow using of custom sets of buttons, but I think the customization of the currently supported languages may improve the situation.

Rocketman posted a link to a wizard where you can customize the buttons. Yes, currently there are no large ones with transparency. We'll post those down the road, as well as more localized buttons in different languages.
