Graphics problem

In my skin I have a rotating volume knob. Without an emboss on it it is round. After I put an emboss on it it looks round it should be round but winamp make the knob turn as if it isnt round. I put a stroke on it and its works but doesnt look as good. The left one is the round one and the right one doesnt spin right.

I fixed the gradient but still have the same problem with the sliders. The knobs are centered for sure. I used the rulers to measure and I let photshop align it to the middle horizontally and vertically.

looks ok, the two images are different sizes, so if your not setting the right size it might explain why the new images doesnt rotate properly

it may be rotating properly but as its a bevel, the highlight is moving around with it... in reality the light position stays and so hte bevel highlight would not change.. what im suggesting is it may just be the bevel rotating thats stuffing with your eyes...

Put an indicator on the knob, and allow only the indicator to go around. It will give the impression the knob goes around, while it really doesn't.

Just like someone did on this skin:

Ok i have it looking good now. I made a bevel on its own png and put it on a layer overtop of the kob so it doesnt turn(makes sense cuz light doesnt rotate right?). Now it turns perfectly and looks good. And could Wildrose be from Alberta like me?
