Looks great, thanks for all your hard work Kirill.
What would I need to do to get buttons to shade and add the perception of depth when the user presses the button?
Not sure if it is something I can add, as I am a novice at these things?

Aron,
To get shading on pressed buttons (instead of the current implementations that make the pressed buttons appear lighter) you'd have to provide a custom SubstanceGradientPainter. You can extend one of the existing core implementations, such as StandardGradientPainter and override the four get*FillColor* methods which currently return lighter versions on pressed state. Note that this will change appearance not only on pressed state, but also on other states (such as rollover, selection and default). About the perception of depth - the current API of gradient painter doesn't get the button state, so you can't do it for a specific state. Changing the API is not an option since this would break backwards compatibility.
Thanks, Kirill
