Chris, If you were to create an inital button using sodipodi and save it as a svg file ( the default I think) then you could use a simple sed script to create icons by replacing the demo text with the text required for that button. Then running convert iconsrc.svg iconfin.png on each file would give you a nice set of icons, assuming you have ImageMagick installed. Pop all of that in a nice script, with your various bits of icon text defined at the top and you can create a set of icons over and over again as you change the style of the initial svg file. Hope that helps. john
