I thought about that, but I want to emulate the *modern* toolbar look and feel, 
where only the *icon* darkens with the mouse down, not the entire square area. 
I tried some of the PictureAdjustBrighness... classes, but nothing looked 
correct. In the end I did what I said I wasn't going to do and just made 
"mousedown" pictures for every toolbar icon and switch between them in the 
MouseDown and MouseUp events. The result is good enough that I'd like to use 
the same method in the Mac version as well, since it's a real pain maintaining 
*two* sets of source code, one *with* an RS Toolbar, one without.

Question: On the Mac, Is there a way to have the topmost canvas "merge" into 
the window titlebar so that it displays a continuous gradient and looks like a 
modern mac app. Right now that's the only thing preventing me from dropping the 
RS toolbar in the mac version and adopting the same canvas based "fake toolbar".

Cheers.
