style% can manpulate the visual’s of the text (color etc

cool that helps, i dunno how i missed it while reading down the list of functions on the object, but i there seems to be conspicuously few

maybe im just spoilt comming from a web background with border radius and all sorts of configurable stuff ??

I don’t think you can set the border. The gui needs to work on mac/linux/windows so precise control is tricky.

not to disparage the awesome work done, but if im looking to build a really nice GUI quickly & easily, should i look elsewhere then ??

or are there any other options? like a racket / webkit interop thing ?

No? Have you checked Alex’s app? It shows what’s possible.
