The buttons themselves are part of the widget theme and should therefor look the same as the rest of the widget theme. The icons displayed on top of them are part of the icon theme and/or the app can proved them. Maybe there is a good reason for doing it differently but this is the way that pretty much every OS does it. -- Ken -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
