Thanks,
I've attached an image of how it is currently looking compared to the orriginal qx button. I think it looks nicer when the "third color band" is only 1px rather than two. Its working in Fx3 and IE7 (with and without the box model).

I will change the implementation I have to use the bevelled decorator as I think it looks much nicer.

BTW: Is it expecting for this to become part of the framework or will it be a contrib decorator?

I especially like the effect for being that basic. The thing is that this kind of markup is quite compact for the little markup needed. You can still use the Beveled decorator etc. if you need a more sophisticated effect.

BTW, I think the 3.1 example with the pseudo-gradient is more interesting for us. To implement this completely without any images definitely would rock.

The example in the pictures all single a single border, do you think this is enough? Using the power of qooxdoo it would be simple to make the border a double and lift it off the page a bit more. It would make the dom a little more complex, do people think it's worth it?

Sounds like a challenge! I don't mind doing this, although I do have several other work responsibilities currently so it won't be a quick turnaround.

Is there anything anybody else wanted to say about this before I start? I will make this fully customizable of course so we can specify different colours for button states and also amke it generic as it could potentially be used for any type of widget!

P.S. Sebastian, I am not a laywer. Before I start could you (or anyone else) confirm that this design doesn't full under some sort of copyright?

Hi all!

Just stumbled accross a nice article at stopdesign:
http://stopdesign.com/archive/2009/02/04/recreating-the-button.html

A cool concept for dealing with pseudo gradients and pseudo rounded borders. The result is not a sophisticated as the ones generated by Bevel or Grid, but a lightweight solution for the basic effect.

With qooxdoo's possibility to exactly know the dimensions of the element to render it should be even possible to implement the gradient the way the author thinks at:

http://stopdesign.com/eg/buttons/3.1/code.html

Without flow issues which needs to be fixed and with absolute coordinates this should be doable easily - crossbrowser.

Anybody like to implement a decorator from this concept? ;)

Cheers,
Sebastian
