Are those buttons in the toolbar ever in the disabled state?  If not, you 
might consider using ttk::label instead of ttk::button for them.  You can 
make them flat that way so they look more like, say, the XCode or System 
Preferences buttons (though I find XCode's buttons kind of annoying 
behavior-wise (no interactive feedback), but I like the flat look).

Unfortunately, Tk and Tile both have the same problem that images turn 
into white squares in labels that are in the disabled state because 
there's no provision for stippling in the XFillRectangle wrapper on Aqua. 
But that's not a problem if the labels are never disabled.
