The new color shows up in the object inspector, but the button is not
affected. This is the case with TButton, with TBitBtn however it works.

I looked for the color property of both button types, but didn't find it.
So I published it in a descendant button control (TMyColorButton). Alas, as
with the font color, setting the background color leads to nothing but
grayness.

I simply want a button with a background color and a font color different
from the standard black and gray look. Anyone know why this is problematic?
