[Paraview-developers] "Create Lookmark" button in toolbar?

[Stanton, Eric T]

One more thing...

I want to create an image with the same look as the others in the
toolbars (i.e. same background color, size, etc). Is there a standard
way you guys create those? I have an image that might work (attached)
and was able to successfully get it displayed in my toolbar but the
background is white and it sticks out like a sore thumb. 

Thanks,

Eric
