I tried making them explicitly visible, don't seem that bad

(only the test app, so no blur)

mutually exclusive buttons on one side looks maybe a bit "heavier" but perhaps 
seems a bit more intuitive.

and yeah, I want in the future to be able to ask Svg for a pixmap of an id 
with a different forced class, so toolbutton can animate between two colors in 
a case like this, but I would prefer doing it after release since if possible, 
is going to be a bit invasive
