Hi Frank,

I had thought you and I had already discussed this issue.  Maybe it was 
all in my head!

The buttons do not get colored correctly on the Mac.  As Jennifer 
pointed out, there is a feint glow around the two button rows, but it is 
hardly obvious.  As she says, top row of buttons --> left column of 
controls & bottom row --> right column.

One of these days, I'll get an opportunity to sit down with a Mac and 
play around with the button colors.  Since this does not happen on 
either linux or Windows, i am at a bit of a loss for how to 
troubleshoot.  To be honest, it's astonishing to me that my software 
works on the Mac without my ever having tried it myself.  Wx really has 
solved the cross-platform problem quite well.
