I had to take a step back due to an unforeseen issue with my Windows-like widgets project:
When I was working on the Drive dropdown widget and the subsequent folder list widget, something happened which I didn't realize at first. The pathways used by the innate RPG::Cache system was altered, and this was by using Ruby's native Dir.Chdir command.
I didn't realize it occurred at first, though I was initially puzzled why Ryoko Habiki did not appear as the background wallpaper for the right-most window. Likewise, it only affected content that was loaded 'after' the use of the Dir.Chdir command, so all file content loaded before (buttons or otherwise) were unaffected.
Obviously, I have figured out NOT to use that command now, and all the graphics have returned.
So far, the revised DriveList Widget works, here sporting icons for both HDD Drives and a CD-Drive icon for my Drive G DVD burner (which is on its last legs).
My FolderList Widget... not quite. It too needs to be reworked without the use of the Dir.Chdir system which was used to reset the actual working application path to whatever path is desired. However, I recently found a means to reacquire folder paths as I need without its use. So right now, I don't have the folder list showing contents.
