Button widget not showing gray background?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

When I create a new button widget on my screen, only the label text actually shows up.    I am not using a background image, but I assumed (based on what I’ve read) that a gray background would appear for the button by default?

My button code:

 play\_button = widget.newButton { label="Play Again", fontSize = 40, x = button\_x, y = button\_y, onRelease = handlePlayButtonReleased }

This is the new IOS7 style. If you wish to use the old look then you can try widget.setTheme( “widget_theme_ios” )

Ahh, thank you!  That works.  I should have realized that IOS 7 doesn’t use that style anymore, doh!

Anyways, appreciate the very fast response.
