 This is not nice. BTW, is there any native control for "quick" colour
selection under Mac?

 Yes, this seems like a good idea if wxBitmapButton has nice(r) appearance
under Mac. But if we do it, we should probably do it for all platforms (why
not?) rather just Mac.

 Short of making wxButton appear in correct colour, I don't see anything.
