Thanks. And what you see there are the lower-resolution ones -- for nearly all of the ones pictured I've also made high-resolution versions (with 3x zoom displays instead of 2x) for use on high-DPI displays. I don't yet have a high-DPI display to fully test them, but they work (albeit a bit large) on any display with at least 1200 vertical pixels, which is the resolution of my monitors (1920x1200).

Also, when you click the buttons they visibly appear to push in (or rotate up).

The only skin that I haven't yet made that I plan to make before release is one for the 39g+. Unfortunately, one major problem has been finding a photo of sufficiently high quality for that obscure model, which was only made for a few years and apparently in limited quantities -- I have an HP press photo that should work for the 2x version, though the color scheme doesn't match the production color scheme, so if anyone can provide a better photo it would be appreciated, otherwise I will do the best I can with that one. I don't even have one of those of my own to work with!

Also, I am still working on the keyboard mappings for the emulators. The main thing holding that up is trying to decide the best mappings on the 48 and 49 series, particularly a decision on exactly which keys should map to the two shift keys and the alpha key. I took different approaches when I made my 48 and 49 KML scripts in the past, but I'd like to unify them now to make it easier to switch between emulators.

Finally, the KML scripts will be dependent on the next (not-yet-released) versions of Emu48 and Emu42, due to the use of custom icons, which is a KML feature only supported at present by the just-released Emu28, so I won't release them until after the other emulators are released (though that will probably be soon so it's unlikely to hold up the release of my package).
