wxColourPickerCtrl on Mac

[Dan Elharrar]

WX : 2.8.3

OS : Mac OSX 10.4.10

COMPILER: XCode with gcc-4
 
Hello,

The generic implementation of the wxColourPickerCtrl is based on a
wxButton, to which the code sets the FG color and BG color according to
the picked color.
Unfortunately, the result on Mac/Carbon looks terrible - the carbon
button has a fixed color, and the selected color appears *behind* the
button.
 
An "easy way" to overcome this problem is to use a wxBitmapButton on
Mac/Carbon (instead of a wxButton), and set a bitmap label in the
correct color. This is not really mac-specific code because we're only
using WX classes, and it looks much better in my humble opinion - you
see a button with the selected color *inside* it.


Does anyone know of a better way to solve this?
