So many different looking buttons. Wish there were more standards.

It's called design and thank god everything isn't the same. Gtk has some nice standard looking buttons for you. You know how those look, and I'm pretty sure you don't want that. Think to when "UI experts" impose edicts from top down, such as "flat design" or "material". Are you really happy about that? The fact that we're even looking in awe at this list is amazing. If everything were the same, this wouldn't even be…

I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect. I'm old-school. :)

It sounds like you're talking about the "gloss" era with "juicy" buttons, which some people are retroactively referring to as Frutiger Aero. Yes, things definitely look more 3D in that design. It's currently considered out of mainstream fashion, which explains the lack. Will it resurge?
