Ok, thanks, that will be a big help.

Ok, first the task form will only have icons if you use a recent GPD to generate the form, or if you use the <jbpm:saveButton>, <jbpm:cancelButton>, and <jbpm:transitionButton> tags instead of manually setting up the action (as it was done during earlier versions).

Bear in mind that forms generated during earlier 3.2 CVS versions might not work, because we've been updating the JSF tags used in the task forms.  The format is considered stable now however.

As for the navigation buttons, I'll have to see what you mean.  As you might have guessed, I did not have the opportunity to do much testing under windows.  However I'm fairly certain that antialiasing is supposed to work on that platform.

I will consider this.  It is easy to change the implementation if needed.  I would probably have to have multiple widths available though, or some trick to scale the buttons, since task transition names may have a fairly arbitrary length.
