I was recently looking for such a button for an applet I put on a page where all the text is in 'blink' tags... :) I think they would blend well. ;) I don’t know, a pulsating button sounds interesting.

The size may be affected by layout managers and the other set size methods used to set the limits. As for 1x1 size buttons, this may just be so that the button will expand to fit the contents. Perhaps the button will expand to at least the value set by <code>setMinimumSize()</code> and at most the value set by <code>setMaximumSize()</code>.
