... not my take. I am not volunteering (for lack of time and code

Nor did it come in the discussions when I volunteered on starting with a 
breeze widget style 'from scratch', based on the code I knew best.

The Breeze style I worked on is a new project, for which I imported some 
code from elsewhere (here oxygen).
