Was intended to be a ring rather than a circle.

The problem with rects is that they end up being pretty "heavy" and in this 
case break the the horizontal shape flow (so did the pause button in 
buttons3.png ...)

Attached is a modification with a rectagular (and shrinked!) stop button and 
an altered pause button (more towards the one in the first shot) to preserve 
the visual pause/stop separation.
The second shot uses a diamond rather than a square.
