Dear Marcio,
I think you may be over-complicating things.
I am the author of a user-application that is available for Windows and
Macintosh:
http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/dwriter.html
and I use graphics (images made in GIMP) as buttons throughout; this way
I can
be sure they look the same on either operating system.
If you want to have your buttons looking different after they have been
used, or
when a pointer is over them, the images can be easily manipulated using
the Graphic
Effects available through the Preferences palette.
