Transparent Title Bar Buttons

Had an idea that I really liked...
We made a set of transparent title bar buttons so that whatever
XPM you put in the title bar the button always looked perfect.
The buttons simply had a highlight and a shadow and the rest of
the pixels were transparent.
The problem of course, is that only the colored pixels were
active for hitting the button and it is difficult to hit the
single pixel wide highlight or shadow. In other words, I'd like
the entire square or rectangle region that the button occupies
to be active even if the actual pixels happen to be transparent.
I hope there is a way to do this but if not, I would be willing to
look through the code and make the change myself if it would be
implemented in the future so we didn't have to do it for each upgrade.
Any pointers to where to look in the code from others more knowledgeable
would be appreciated.
