True enough... and in the current incarnation of nUI's layouts, there is in fact a solid background behind that button. However... that button is entirely configurable and could just as easily have no background or be sitting on top of a nice piece of graphic art like Havoxx's most recent DK skin... then what?

That's the core of the issue is that I have to make decisions based on what users can do, not just what I have done.
