My goal is understanding, and I'm not quite there yet. I tried changing my program to use a textured window, and the textured buttons now gray out when the window is inactive.
However, the buttons are not in the toolbar or a bottom margin. At least I don’t think they are in a bottom margin, unless the entire window excluding the toolbar is a bottom margin. The buttons are within a box with a fill color. Do you have a test of a textured button in a textured window that does not gray out when inactive? (I’m ignoring the fact that textured buttons are not supposed to be used in the content area.) I have also noticed that if I add a template icon to the textured button, then the text and the icon both gray out, even in a non-textured window. However, if I use a textured segmented control with a label and a template icon, the label grays out but the icon does not. Perhaps the intent is to gray out all textured buttons in inactive windows but the support is buggy?
