Messed up cancel button on logoffs

I'm working on another blind. I have run across a problem with the shutdown/logoff screens. The cancel button is messed up...in SS it displays properly:
WWW Link

but, when I apply it, the button is blue with a blue background:
WWW Link

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Posting here in case someone else sees that could add some input.

I am finding it to be a bug when using transparent logoff dialogue backgrounds. Dunno if it is new or not. With most skins you don't notice the dark outline around the button but it is there. In your case the skin really exaggerates the issue. Every skin I tested with a transparent logoff dialogue has the same problem. I tested alot of skins and had the same result.
I am hoping Neil or Adam gets a peek at this and can confirm a bug.

My info for comparison

This is the first time this has happened. I have been using transparent logoffs for awhile now, along with transparent buttons, and haven't had that issue. In this case, the button actually changed color! The only thing I could think of was that the logoff doesn't have a bottom edge on it. I even went and changed the logoff to a "regular" bottom, and it didn't help.

I am still using Windowblinds 5.1. I haven't updraded it yet.

I imported brand new images, buttons and even tried your images in a brand new skin and had the same result. I tried my latest skin, a skin I am working on, Danillo's Acrylic and Mike B's Aura. They all display the same issue as your skin. After lightening the backround color you can see the box around the button.

Well, I fixed it, sort of. I had forgotten to make the bmp logoffs...I usually always make those as well as the transparent ones. I used the same image as the png...and did tons of majic pink on it...lol. Anyway, I now have my button color and transparency back, and I can see a very faint white box around the button. That's a lot better than what I had! I hadn't noticed the problem before because I always had "bottoms" on my logoffs and my buttons were usually more squared off than these are.

I sure hope they can figure out how to fix this glitch.
