Use an xpm with a solid background, eg
sequence test test =3D {
"24 24 13 1",
" 	c None",
"B	c #808080",	-- the background
".	c #000000",
"+	c #E4E4DC",
"@	c #BE7579",
"#	c #C67D81",
"$	c #2D2D2D",
"%	c #8A4D4F",
"&	c #9E575B",
"*	c #A75E5F",
"=3D	c #AF6668",
"-	c #B66D71",
";	c #CD8689",
">	c #080808",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB.........BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB.++++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB.++++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBB...++++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBB. at .++++++..BBBBB",
"BBB...... at #.++$.+..BBBBB",
"BBB.%&*=3D- at #;.+.$+..BBBBB",
"BBB.%&*=3D- at #;.++++..BBBBB",
"BBB...... at #.+++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBB. at .++++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBB...++++++..BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB.++++....BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB.++......BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBB...>>>>>>BBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"}

change the background colour, eg
test[3][7..12]=3D"FF0000"	-- Red

and stick it on the button

setBitmap(Button,createDIB(xpmToEuBmp(test)))

I would imagine that the drop-down is just a very narrow button next
to the normal sized button.

There is a simple palette I inherited in the editor, see options.ew

Apparently someone is going to post about 2,500 xpm files real soon
now.
