lookAndFeel

[Phil Davis]

Hi Shari,

If you really *really* need it to be as you describe below, you can always fake 
it with images.

- set the lookAndFeel to Motif

- use 'import snapshot' to make images of your target button in all the required 
states - enabled, disabled, hilited, etc.

- set the lookAndFeel back to whatever it was at first.

- make the button itself transparent and use your new images as its various 
state icons.

It's a little clunky but it works, for 'pushbutton' buttons at least.
