You are welcome to rework this, but I would recommend to make the pushed in 
surface much darker then what would be realistic lighting, since this is 
just important visual feedback that your click hit the target. While you're 
at it, you could also add the flashing effect to BMenuItem invokation.

That being said, I plan on reworking the GUI a bit in general when I have a 
little more time. Since that is so much about taste, we could even have a 
(range voting) contest again :-). But at the moment, I guess it would be a 
distraction. Everyone should concentrate on bugs preventing the alpha 
release.
