statusbar without light border

wxPython Users
1

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a dark themed application, but I can't get rid of
the light
statusbar border.

I've tried using wx.NO_BORDER and wx.SB_FLAT, but to no avail -
it always looks like http://imgur.com/Jsan7 with a light border.

Minimal code is at
https://gist.github.com/2037009

I'm using wxpython version 2.9.3.1 osx-cocoa (classic), Mac OS 10.6.8

Any ideas how to either remove this border or change its color?

Thanks,
Matt

You probably can't, at least not unless you implement your own paint event handler for the statusbar. It is initializing the pens it uses to draw those lines like this:

     m_mediumShadowPen = wxPen(wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_3DSHADOW));
     m_hilightPen = wxPen(wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_3DHILIGHT));

and there isn't any public API for changing them. (This is in the generic statusbar class. Platforms using a native statusbar will likely behave differently.)

I ran your code from github using 2.9.3.1 on windows 7 and do not see
the same light border.
