Scenes: button background color?

[Hippo Man]

Is there any way to specify the background color of a button within a scene, without using an image file for the background? ... in other words, I'd just like to specify a color value for the button background.

... or is this impossible?

Thank you in advance.

I could not find a easy way.

I found the text element to be more versatile then a button. You can set the background color and it has the same tap and long tap options.

Oh, I didn't think to try it on a text element. Yes, all I need is tap and long-tap, so it should do.

Thank you very much.

The button is the only way to make a rectangular tap target WITH custom icon on it. Button out of the text element looks ugly.
