A more efficient way of doing this would be to group the buttons and  
set the backcolor of each button to empty, then just
    set the backcolor of group "myBtnGroup" to 89,149,218
and all the objects in the group will inherit the backcolor of the  
group (as long as they don't have an individual backcolor set). Note  
that for this to have visible effect for buttons, they must be opaque
