Haha it's all relative. I said "more attractive" (than the beige rectangle
default). The main intention was to make it possible to modify the button
style globally.

I think the buttons might be more friendly to clumbsy people if they were
made a bit bigger (increase padding). The contrast again the off-white page
background is pretty stark. It might be worth making the button background
lighter. Yes, I should be able to make patches for you to
take/ignore/comment on. Or someone with some idea about styling could send
patches or at least suggestions.

to do this and failed with some syntax issue (don't recall right now) so I
gave up and did it inside the StartPage.qml. But this is much better.

No worries. Let's see if you're still pleased when I send a mobile planner
patch bomb. I have a basic UI (including cylinder edit that could be used
for dive edit) and working on tying it into the existing c and c++ code.
Don't worry too much, I doubt it would be ready until after the first
release, and in any case it would be tucked away in the menu and
build-optional.
