gray border around a regular wx.Button (Windows)

[dhyams]

My google-fu has failed to find a solution to this one :(  But surely it must a common problem, if indeed it is a problem.

Under Windows, how do you get rid of the one-pixel wide border around just a regular wx.Button?  I'm trying to draw the button on top of a non-gray background, and it's a bit unsightly.

You can see the same borders in the wx demo, under "Core Window Controls -> Button".  It's hard to see because the buttons are on a white background, but there is a one-pixel gray border around all of them.

And sorry, forgot to post the wx version again.  2.9.4.0.

And a small image is attached to show the border being referred to.

The outermost 3 pixels of the button image are drawn by the native button control.  Its color will vary depending on your desktop theme.  If you need a custom look and feel, then you'll need to draw your own using a panel.  See the BitmapButton and GenericButtons samples in the big wx demo.
