[SailfishDevel] Silica Button QML Element

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi Michael

Thanks for your input.

I also now think it is by design - especially the transparent bit /  
glassy bit.

I have stumbled across a Sailfish demo showing all their controls.

This demo had several small buttons next to one another, and they  
looked "okish".

But on my app, which has very big idiot-proof buttons stretching  
across the screen, the Silica Button looks like a pile of the steaming  
proverbial ....

For this use case the BackgroundItem actually works well, and keeps  
the Silica glassy look. (A clickable text on a glassy background).

In the Harmattan version of my app I used button background colour to  
reinforce the use of the button (green for normal, red for emergencies  
only). With BackgroundItem I can do the same with the Label Color, and  
the result also looks cool (in my case)

1000 grazie

Chris
