in thread How to set background Color on bitmap when creating with DefineBitmap?

Here's a quick example:
use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $top = MainWindow->new(); my $arrowDnBits = pack("b8" x 5, "........", ".111111.", "..1111..", "...11...", "........" ); $top->DefineBitmap('arrowDn' => 8, 5, $arrowDnBits); $top->Button(-bitmap=>'arrowDn')->pack(-side=>'left'); MainLoop();
Note: It is possible to set -background=>'red' when you create the button (which will get the button code to go and set the bitmap background for you), but that is not what I want. I'm trying to figure out how to set the bitmap -background directly, or possibly another bitmap option like -data.
