If you apply a non-standard color, it's no longer a standard button.
We have a roundrect style that may work for the type of non-standard
button you're looking for.
But AFAIK the "standard" button relies on OS routines to render its
shape, gradient fill, etc., and the OS APIs provide little support for
non-HIG alterations.
