Thanks for your input Colin.

 

For the interim I have implemented a rather notso-elegant solution by adding paintlistener to the button and then drawing a filled rectangle across the whole button, by setting the alpha of the colour to about .5 I achieve an affect that suits my needs well enough. This, however, does require an explicit redraw request on a selection event since, for some reason, the filled rectangle is removed whenever the button is pushed.

 

In the meantime I am still hoping that there is a better way of doing this.

Louis.
