Well the axe has fallen and this is becoming a feature request ... in the
meantime I'll have to handle things by hand:
The request from the customer is basically:
1) transparency aware bitmap buttons under Linux
2) being able to pass the on, over, pressed, disabled bitmaps to the button
Regards,
Philippe

Probably so.

The design philosophy of wx is to get as native a look and feel as possible, and this is achieved by using native widgets when possible.
In your case, you don't want the native look, so you're going to be fighting with wx. I don't know if another toolkit would work better for you, as wx is the only one I have any real experience with (and I WANT native look and feel!).
However, for the button issue you are dealing with at the moment, it really wouldn't be very hard to make your own button class that looks and acts just like you want it to. I'd stop fighting with wx.Button, and just do that.
wx.lib.buttons.py may be most of what you need already.

Yes I got it done ... and it's working OK except for a fliker under
windows ... which can be fixed I'm sure and does not matter much at this
stage as the target is *nix ... I just do not like to reinvent the wheel if I
can avoid it ... lazy
