I usually just use a graphic instead of a button.

Like Sean points out, this is caused by the “threeD” property being on.
I don’t think it’s a bug, it’s just the nature of the beast, I seem to
remember that the threeD effect is generated by pre-made graphics or
images, although I may be totally wrong. It would be useful if this kind of
info was in the dictionary, then we wouldn’t be forced to rely on ageing
grey matter quite so much.
Anyway, the way I have managed to overcome this in the past is to use an
Inner Glow effect set to 1 or 2 pixels. You can also add a 1px Outer Glow
for a more intense colour effect. You have to be aware that it is adding
colour to grey, so it’s not perfect, but it does allow you to use some
colour on the border of a standard button while keeping the rounded corners
and threeD effect.
I totally agree that setting the "Border Color" Property would be much
easier though.

Folks,
This issue also confused me recently when I was making an app for my own
use. It seems like an idiosyncrasy to me, even tho a pretty minor one that
could be mentioned in the dictionary.
Best,
Bill

Klaus,
Forecolor IS the border color. It always has been for shapes including
circles, polygons and custom shapes.
yes, but I was clearly referring to a button.
Buttons have a bordercolor property but only visible if 3d is off.
AND if they are not "roundrect"!
Then the BORDERCOLOR does nto work!
It does if you switch to e.g. "rectangle".
And that was puzzling me a bit. 8-)

Hi friends,
bug or feature?
I have a "roundrect" button and cannot set its BORDERCOLOR!?
I have to set the FOREGROUNDCOLOR which also affects its BORDERCOLOR.
This is not the case if I set the buttons type to e.g. "rectangle", then
the before
set BORDERCOLOR will be displayed.
No hint in the dictionary about this, so but or feature? :-)
Best
Klaus
