ENTRY #1 UPDATED: Was able to take a second look at the shadow effect settings I had in place - particularly for the Down state - and, thanks to your suggestions/feedback, made adjustments that effectively eliminated that pesky white fringing I was seeing (also noticed that the shadow effect from the Normal state was indeed "bleeding" into the Down state - thanks again, Jon, for pointing that out!)
Simple, bold, and clean button set...though there is that annoying white border to deal with (see project feedback):
