Huub, Thanks, but this does not answer my question.
Google has been auto-creating button definition files from the available google gadgets and placing them in this directory: http://www.google.com/gadgets/directory?synd=toolbar My question is - can you edit the "GADGET XML DEFINTION" file and have it be such that a custom button is generated when they convert the gadget automatically. This is different from the Button XML file.... I have no direct control over the button xml file as it is being auto-generated by google from my gadget files. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
