Is there any software for easy making static buttons usable for software interfaces? I can't find any with templates or looking not right.

I'm using the skinman / knobman bundle for all my GUI related pictures. The benefit from using them is that you can easily add new textures as you need 'em.

I was thinking rather about templates and themes, and not making it from the scratch.

You can get some at deviantart. but many of them are just pictures. But you find some UI, knobs at that site I searched too many times but i found nothing already good. Try GIMP and download some textures / shapes / PSD ui templates to start. For knobs, knobman is really good.

Thanks. I check that later, eventually make something simple in my old paintshop pro from jasc (pre-corel) era; still my favourite app for making graphics. I just thought that there are maybe some dedicated skin set libraries, like you can get the themes for websites or winamp.

Eventually I decided to make vectors in SM. Easier to adapt.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
