Thanks for the feedback and fixes, as they speed things up ;-) ! Sorry for
the late response as well since I've had a busy spell lately ;-(.

This shouldn't be very difficult, I'll implement it in the next version.

This shouldn't be too bad to try; the only question is how to layout
the pixmap to account for any horizontal size. My first guess would
be to just repeat the pixmap horizontally (which would,
however,facilitate the need of a "seamless" horizontal pixmap). One
might opt alternatively to use a single centered pixmap.
I think the best way to handle the TitleStyle however would be to give
a modifier of /which/ type of window as you've mentioned, and to make
it simple something similar to one per line, such as:
TitleStyle <Active | Inactive | Sticky> <Simple | <Pixmap <Up Pixmap> [Down Pixmap] > >
I have break next week and will implement a test of this since for no
other reason than it seems neat. Also, the title style declaration
could possibly include a text justification specifier. A "down" title
pixmap should probably also be optionally specified in the same manner
as the button pixmap.

This is an interesting idea as well. Ian also mentioned making the
button a reduced version of the currently assigned icon. I think this
could just be an added button style, such as "ButtonStyle 1 UseIcon"
or something along those lines (?). Someone mentioned they had code
to reduce pixmaps (hint, hint... ;) -- within the PixmapButton
framework it should be almost straitforward. I was also thinking it
would be nice to be able to override the global button assignment from
the window Style declaration... All of these things should naturally
be [preprocessor] optional.
I will make a web page available next week with some more
info and the latest implementation of the patch. Again, thanks.
