What is "button" exactly. There are different classes named "Button". Full name, please. In other words, tag your UI library. The problem is quite solvable, but the solution would be very different for different kinds of UI...

Well you could do what I do for Compact Framework (Due to limitations on UI Controls)

I place a Label behind the button, so it appears as a drop shadow, and due to everything in Windows 8 being flat, I guess that would be not needed for very long.

 xxxx
oooox
oooox
oooo

Similar to that where o = button and x = label

I usually have the label 3 cursor presses up and 3 to the right. But have a play around...
