Thanks for the suggestion, Ken; but by setting the background color & 
opaqueness of the button I get a black clock face inside a white 
square.  The background color property populates the entire rectangle 
of the button, not just the portion within the round image.

I might note that in HC, setting the hilite of a transparent button 
causes the button colors to invert within the icon image only.  So 
far as I can tell, this effect is not possible in RunRev short of 
producing a set of hilited images and setting the button's hilited 
icon.  If the button is not opaque, setting/changing the background 
color has no visible effect; if it is opaque, hiliting the button 
hilites its entire rectangle.
