Whilst working on the next button I encountered buttons like table background colour in writer. 
These are not (yet) split button, but have a grey bitmap as default, with COL_TRANSPARENT as 
default colour.
Apart from writer highlight colour, all background colour buttons I have seen so far in 
LibreOffice, have COL_TRANSPARENT as default, with a gray bitmap.
I do not want to be irreverent, but does this not require some extra thought and/or advise from ux 
(I think that is where the user side of LibreOffice is discussed, but it could be something else)?
Or could we consider using a checquered (gray/white) bitmap, like used in GIMP for transparent?
