Your thread's older, but @zxcslo's thread has a better explanation:

> I’m trying this in v8.0.9 and is still the same… When you change the button’s background to anything else than default color (250,250,251), the button loses the visual effect of the button and doesn’t look like the button anymore. For something basic like the button, I think this is going for too long. Why?

For now, increasing the alpha of the background color is the best solution. That may change in the future.
