[update!] I'll be uploading the full set when I finish the last few sometime. I don't know when I will have time to though.
I managed to break my editor, go figure. Anyways, while waiting for SC2 to patch (hopefully fixing w/e I did, something about files missing) I ripped a Terran icon from a screenshot and figured I'd mess with some icons (granted I'd have to redo them because of the black background). [edit] hehe, looks like I'm wrong. I'll have to redo the bars in white. XP
Personally, I think they seem a bit off.
[edit] I've added the white edits. I don't know if you can test them as .png's but anyone is welcome to mess with 'em.

[update]
I went ahead and made a .dds version of Rank1. I've mananged to import and get it ingame, however although the race tinting is correct, the button overlay doesn't show up. (see attached screenshot)
Thank you, sixen. I'm working on the rest of them. When I finish I'll save them all as .dds and package them up with a text file showing their real-life equivalents and where I added extras for release. :)
Well I suppose I could maybe be imaginative? Maybe work off these and make a full custom set. However, the tint color does change respective to your race in-game.
How do you get the standard borders to appear around the buttons? When I use a simple white/black texture like you have it doesn't overlay the border or shine like normal buttons have. I've checked, and this border and shine are not present on their (Blizzard's) button texture dds (at least doesn't appear in preview)
they are built-in to non-passive abilities, you have to set/create a alpha border of approx 3px
Just to clarify this futher, it looks like the "overlay" is actually an underlay, so you'll need to add alpha to your image anywhere you'd like the button border and shine effect to show through.

What would you do for Zerg/Protoss ones?

This looks nice. Thanks for this.
