The look is fine, it is how it is used. The pressed button look is, in other GUI's, used when the button is pressed, i.e. on mouse-down not on mouse-over. I'm not sure a distinct mouse-over face is needed. A change in mouse cursor type when the mouse is over a button is more common in other application.
