Borders and Icons

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bridger,

Apparently, icons are drawn in front of the objects they belong to.  
This surprises me a little, because, just like you, I would epxect  
icons to be cut off by borders. The problem becomes even more  
apparent, if one adds a shadow to the button. The icon is drawn in  
front of the border and the shadow.

Perhaps this is a bug. Actually, I believe it is, but it might have a  
very long history. I wonder what others have to say about this?

In the mean time, drawing a border on top of your button seems to be  
your only option.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
