Swap the topShadowColor and the bottomShadowColor. This will make it look like
it is pushed in.
Replace the translations.
Set traversalOn to False.
Set highlightThickness to zero. (Probably taken care of by the previous one).

Take a look at XltBubbleButton, it should give you a good start. Also, if the
look you are trying for is a label inside a frame, consider sub-classing frame.
Inherit everything except initialize. Set your default resources to make the
frame look the way you want. Your initialize will simply call the super-class
init, then create a label as a child. Then you have something that looks and
behaves like a label in a frame, but is treated as a single widget. XltNumEntry
is a similar thing. It is a Form sub-class that adds a couple of other widgets
to get the desired result.
