[ubuntu-art] How should an Ubuntu button widget look like?

Hi again!

I just updated the template and Wiki. A few tweaks were necessary after
talking with Robert Staudinger regarding using the template with the
css-engine (this is not implemented, yet).

"Double" used to mean "Default" + "Focused", that is a key that is the
default button of a dialog and also has general input-focus (as was
described on the Wiki page). I removed the term to make things clearer.

To be even clearer, "Unfocused" is the common case of a button that does
not have input-focus.

Finally, focus is that thing commonly indicated with a dotted rectangle,
usually being on the last widget you clicked. Alternatively you can use
the Tab key to cycle through the widgets of a window (except when being
in a text-editor).


So once again: How should an Ubuntu button look like (in all the various
states)?

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines/Pieces/Buttons
for the details and to get the template.
