Re: [MACTCL] Button background

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

To color the little bits of the square button area that peek around  
the edges of the round Mac OS X push button, set the - 
highlightbackground of the button.

That actually makes sense in terms of X11 Tk because if you had a non- 
zero highlightthickness, and you changed the background of the  
containing widget, you'd still see a little band around an  
unhighlighted button that was the color of the default background.  So  
you had to set the highlightbackground to the new background color as  
well.
