@Immersion, I don't know how to fix those buttons, but I'll be able to fix the labels not being shown right away.
As for the API, it'll get started on today/tomorrow. On a sidenote, if any developers are seriously interested in using it, just PM me.
I'll obviously release some apps myself, but there may be some that are curious enough to build one themselves too (like a Windows Gadget or an iGoogle app that I may not be able to do).
