Why create an owerdraw button? It seems like a normal pushbutton with no text in it would do the trick. However, if you can't use one, I think all pushbuttons can be drawn the same, regardless of the driver. The border is always two pixels wide. You can get the colors from GetSysColor: COLOR_BTNFACE, COLOR_BTNSHADOW, and I believe the hightlight color is COLOR_WINDOW.
