Change style for all buttons ... and some thoughts

Hi,

Is it possible to set the same style for all buttons that appear in mojoportal?

Such as now I've changed the Search button style by adding ButtonCssClass="searchbutton" to layout.Master, then I set in CSS by adding .searchpanel .searchbutton {...

Anyway this only changes 1 button. How can I make all buttons that appear in my site to look the same?

On a side note, actually what I want is at least to make the buttons look flat, as I find the current default button style is quite outdated for websites nowadays. Maybe it could be possible to improve the look on it in the next version as well? (may also try to make all the input entries text boxes to look more erm... tidy?)

;)

These all might be done by making changes to the CSS, etc. But nowadays where the look and feel of a website are more important than anything else, I think it is worth it to seriously give mojoportal a good "default" skin design, which I believe can attract more potential users to use it (yes, many people evaluate a CMS by it's look, sadly but true). Maybe mojoportal could invest on a good web designer to come out with some nice skins and icons. At least to have a Web 2.0 feel. :)

I know the resources are limitted for a community project. And 'most' developers are not good designers as well (inlcuding myself). But I still think investing in a good web designer is worth it and should be made a priority.

Mojoportal is a great product with a great architecture, it will be greater if it can overcome it's major weakness: the look and feel, I believe.

Anyhow these are just my 2 cents. :)

Thanks.
