Description

I had the bright idea of including button graphics inside of the PySimpleGUI (tkinter based) code. This will get the mac people around the button color bugs!

However, I don't know what other bugs exist for the Mac. I had disabled the ChangeLookAndFeel some time ago so I'm not sure if it's just the buttons that were broken or if there were other color issues. If it's JUST buttons, we're home free.

Anyone with a Mac (I'm sorry), maybe some knowledge of the prior problems, and some time to run some tests available?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the PySimpleGUI tkinter-based code around the button graphics and the disabled ChangeLookAndFeel behavior. Run the relevant GUI checks on macOS and compare button colors with other color-related behavior. Done means reporting whether the workaround fixes the button issue and identifying any remaining Mac color bugs.
