setting the colour of a button

[norricorp]

Am I right to think that a Button inherits its colour from the background of the element eg Rectangle it is sitting in?
Or can I set the colour of a Button? And the text colour?

I can see in Custom Widgets, that I can create my own button by inheriting rectangle (which does have a background colour) but then of course I have to set all of the other properties of a button too.

So is that code the way forwards?

The button from the std-widgets.slint are meant to look like "native" buttons. And you can't change their appearance.
If you want a custom appearance, you can do a custom Button.
