I would like to see the ability to use button images on the side bar navigation for categories, and so on. I have to do this manually now, but I think it would be much easier if I could do it from within the cart itself and just use the generate navigation selection that already can build the test links for the categories.

This would be an extemely difficult request to fulfill.  Imagine that the script reads any particular category structure and generates the various nested levels, using ASP string-handling techniques to truncate long names and replace the end with "...".  The deeper the levels, the narrower the button would have to be.  I think you would be better advised to design for a nice CSS treatment.

Additionally, there is the SEO question. I don't have any scientific evidence but after building sites for many years I am absolutely convinced that text navigation is indexed by spiders better than button navigation.  And since stores can be more difficult to rank than text sites, I don't think you want to do anything to make it tougher.
