Button colors edition works now !

Since yesterday, I've finished implementation of button edition in Ella (only available if you compile yourself, otherwise you must wait until the next binary release, 1st March 2012).

With this feature, once an object becomes a button, you can modify the colors for the "mouse hover state" (when the user moves the pointer above the button) and the "pressed state" (when the user clicks in button's area and maintains the left mouse button down).

At this time, in the preview, I only consider a 'box' button, but, of course, all types of buttons can be edited ! Once you have done this edition, hit <CTRL>+<ENTER> keys to do a preview in flash format, and move your move above the button to see the result.

Some work on buttons edition

For the next release, it's necessary to allow to the user to edit the button's colors : I've made the  most part of this job today. Here is a screenshot under a test program, but it isn't yet embedded in Ella.
