Hi loic,
I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. I was trying to figure out how to do this for a couple of hours, but it turned out a too hard nut for me to crack.
I could paint both the dialog and the panel:
var dlg = new Window('dialog', 'Test');
var pnl = dlg.add('panel', undefined, 'My Panel')
var btn = pnl.add('button', undefined, 'My Button', {name:'ok'});
var g = pnl.graphics;
var brush = g.newBrush( g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1] );
try {
g.backgroundColor = brush;
}
catch(e) {
$.writeln(e);
}
dlg.show();
But when I try to do the same with button, I get an error:
Error: Cannot set backgroundColor property for this element type
Then I tried to set foregroundColor using ScriptUIPen, but failed to create it.
var pen = g.newPen( g.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1] );
throws an error: TypeError: Bad argument list.
And the documentation is so obscure on this topic — no examples provided (Graphic Customization Objects chapter in JavaScript Tools Guide).
I've found only two examples — both by Bob Stucky. He is the only person, I know about, that can do this sort of things.
Here is one more question that keeps me awake at night — the following script sets the text of the button to Arial, BOLD, 12px:
var dlg = new Window('dialog', 'Test');
var pnl = dlg.add('panel', undefined, 'My Panel')
var btn = pnl.add('button', undefined, 'My Button', {name:'ok'});
var g = btn.graphics;
g.font = ScriptUI.newFont("Arial", "BOLD", 12);
dlg.show();
Why do we use graphics object, when we create a new brush?
var g = pnl.graphics;
var brush = g.newBrush( g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1] );
And why do we use ScriptUI, when we create a new font?
var g = btn.graphics;
g.font = ScriptUI.newFont("Arial", "BOLD", 12);

Hi guys,
As far as I am concerned, this problematic even has decided me to turn from scriptUI to ( what was then PatchPanel ) extensions. I still do ScriptUI once in a while but and it's really my humble opinion, I always found cumbersome to have so many lines of code for the simpliest UI behaviour. However I deeply admire how far Peter and Marc ( and a few others guy btw ) have pushed ScriptUI to the limits.
But I realise how troll-ish this post could be and I apologize for that. I just wanted to share my experience and how this colored button consideration affected my poit of view
Best to all,
Loic
