This is a nice config, although I would add a test for HoverTitle and
possibly HoverColorset too, like "HoverTitle apple". Great feature.

But I think the feel on press is incorrect.

The correct feel on the cell press IMO is: restore the original icon and
title, draw the sunken relief (if non zero) and don't change this look
until the mouse button is released; lock the pressed cell, don't hover
other cells. I used the word "cell", because "button" is too overloaded.

After you get this feel correctly, you may think about adding PressIcon,
PressTitle and PressColorset to be used instead of the original ones. :)

Regards,
Mikhael.
