…SocketAttach in the case of dt_socket or SharedMemoryAttach if you use dt_shmem on Windows). In our case, we know it's listening on a socket, so we're using the SocketAttach connector directly.
The rest is pretty simple: we get the default arguments from the connector, twiddle them to have the right hostname and port number, and attach to the VM. Now we have a VirtualMachine object we can query and twiddle; we're inside the matrix.

…button is at it's standard size. You're looking for the merest suggestion that the icon is slightly indented into the surface of the button, not a harsh white outline around the bottom of your icon!
Toolbar buttons for other platforms
Windows and Linux are much easier; just provide an icon without a background. See the default icon sets in the relevant XUL_School tutorial to get a feel for what it should look like.
