Those buttons are NOT nice.....

I downloaded the trial and they draw the button using an image so that if
the button is long or tall it looks pixellated and blurry.

However, note that non-standard UIs are confusing and thus should be
avoided.

LOL -- even Windows Media Player uses standard-compliant UIs for its dialog
windows... :-).
