Lol. At any rate, looks like implementing a table instead of boxes will not only be trivial, but will help clean up the code -- and help you help us style the widgets :P

Off topic- you seem to be all over the place when code is discussed qwerty12 -- no wonder your thanks rival your posts. BTW, thanks for cleaning up the print statements, I forgot you could concat strings like that.

[edit]
I've replaced hboxes with tables, but the line that changes button_send's name breaks the button. Without it, the styling is gone, but everything looks normal. I'm going to play a bit with the sizing attributes and see if I can come to a compromise.

[edit 2]
Seems the issue is related to this post, although no one has responded :-(

Similar to the above post, trying to use thumb height causes errors. The only work around as of yet is to go back to hboxes :-S
