Gradients on buttons?

[Keith Clarke]

Thanks Richard - It would certainly make life easier for desktop and web apps. 

Let's hope that mobile platforms and/or the engine get more efficient graphics capabilities soon, so that on-the-fly gradient support for mobile becomes feasible and attractive. 

That would then enable and most likely drive a cross-platform approach.
Best,
Keith..
