richwhite, as you know, the vkb changes in appearance based on your theme. I don't think I've seen it look like that before, without gaps in between the keys... But I'm sure that's a theme difference too. - Edit - For instance, if you look at Marina theme button images, they are rounded off, and the edges don't reach the end of the image. That probably explains the gaps we seen between buttons on most themes. I suspect if we opened up the theme richwhite has and looked at it, we'd find that the relevant button icons fill the entire image area, and terminate on the edge in a "dividing line" like you see "between" his buttons. This would also mean that fastsms (and the underlying Qt) tiles the buttons completely touching, and it's just out theme buttons that make it look like there's gaps.
