It looks a bit better than that now, but, still uses a grey rectangles
on lighter grey background, more work could be done on the appearance
I just haven't had the time.

I've never seen a spinbox implemented that way, up/down is more clear
than right/left even though the click targets are smaller. You can
also push the arrow keys to increment and decrement the value. I
suppose you could have the text box then full height up arrow then
full height down arrow from left to right to make the click targets
bigger.
