Hi,  
What purpose does the “Buttons” tool acutally have? I can create a matrix of buttons, which is very useful, but on the other hand i can’t edit each button seperately.

UI organization primarily.

To edit color, opacity, read-only and text, you have to send individual commands to the button using the methods in the documentation. Either custom in arguments or dedicated /OSCpilot/Color formats.
