"€ The hiliteColor of a button is used for the background of the button 
when it is highlighted. If the button is a menu, the hiliteColor is used 
to highlight the button, but not the active menu choice. The hiliteColor 
has no effect if the button is a tabbed button. The hiliteColor has no 
effect until the button is highlighted."

Not sure what you mean by "hilited" text color, but to change the text 
color of the button, use the Text button.

The tooltip reveals this to be the Border color/pattern. I'm not sure why 
this option is disabled (yes, it's disabled here also).
