wxPython flat GenButton border

Question

I am designing a GUI using wxPython with flat buttons.

How can I make a thin border around the button, like button2 in the picture:

The button that I have now looks like this:

The code:

    import wx.lib.buttons as buttons
    [...]
    self.a = buttons.GenButton(self, 00, "0", (140, 380), size=(100, 100),style=wx.BORDER_NONE)
    self.a.SetBackgroundColour((215, 215, 215))

Thanks for help.

Thank you! :) This means, that there is no way to make it to the GenButton? — PhJu, Sep 30 '14 at 13:14
I would recommand not to hardcode id's, use wx.ID_ANY instead. Similar for size and position I would recommend to use sizers. — Werner, Sep 30 '14 at 13:31

With GenButton this should work:

buttons.GenButton(pane, wx.ID_ANY, "1", wx.DefaultPosition, size=(100, 100),
                  style=wx.BORDER_SIMPLE)

or:

buttons.ThemedGenButton(pane, wx.ID_ANY, 'Themed - Drawn with native renderer')

Okay, this is what I want, but then the button is not flat anymore... I don't want the '3D' effect around the button. – PhJu Sep 30 '14 at 13:43
See above, you might want to check in the wxPython demo for more options. – Werner Sep 30 '14 at 16:05
