title: XP Style Glyph annoyance in ActionBars
body: <p>I dont like to ask too many questions in relation to the appearance of components, but these days appearance in Applications seems just as important.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, please see the below images:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/10183.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Both are using the TActionManager and TActionMainMenuBar to create my main menu. The menu in the left of the image is using the Platform Default Style, the menu on the right is using the XP style defined by my TActionManager.</p>
  
  <p>Notice how when the left menu is highlighted, the glyph remains the same which is perfect. </p>
  
  <p>Now look at the XP style menu on the right, the glyph draws a drop shadow, pops out slightly and you can see the transparency makes the glyph appear slightly odd.</p>
  
  <p>I want to enable the XP style for my UI, but the way the glyphs are painted I do not like. I also want to change my TToolbar to a TActionToolBar and apply the same XP style, but this will render the glyphs the same too.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make the XP style menu defined in the TActionManager, not render the glyphs like this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
