Nope, no cookie unfortunately :-) Your trick does the opposite of what I 
intended: It removes the theme from the button (which I like to keep) 
and still leaves the 1 pixel grey border aroud it (which I want to get 
rid of).

Hmm... maybe I should rethink the GIU so that I can do without the 
button in the center of the playing field, or use a custom graphical 
item that would fit a hearts game.

Thanks for your help though!
