I was not saying only have one style of button. We need new styles of buttons and
we need to get rid of to stupid looking buttons designed for monochromatic
monitors. I haven't put much thought into this because I think this sort of design
consideration is for later down the track.

Important buttons for me are:

Radio Button
Check Box
Transparent Rectangle
Image Pane
Windows Standard: i.e. rect
Mac Standard: i.e. round rect
Windows Default
Mac Default
Popup

Not important:

Oval
Round Rect
Opaque
