A very valuable addition.  I'm curious about what prompted that 
development effort, and does it support HTTPS connections, or CGI?

The Dictionary for this new version doesn't load on Linux this time 
(hangs the process actually, one of the known issues), so forgive this 
question probably answered there:

Does the syntax for that button style use "button" or "widget"?

What does this do differently from the "Standard" button style?

Does it have the same properties and message handling options we're used 
to with buttons?
