The runtime supporting FB5 does not provide a way to colorize a push button but there are options ( see FB5 help for 'appearance button' ) to add small icons to a button. My suggestion is to avoid colorizing buttons or adding icons to them because it looks ( at least IMHO ) hokey and unprofessional. There are other ways to highlight selections and do emphasis without colorizing push buttons. Placards, image wells and other approaches are available. Maybe post a description of why the emphasis is needed and the list will often chime in with specific suggestions.
