I think Tomas is right and we should go with 3x3 dots rather than 2x2 dots.
I also had the feeling that the 2x2 dots were a bit small at 100dpi.
I'm not completely how to best draw the 9 pixels.

gives two variants on the theme (one for the vertical and one for
the horizontal) which change the light color to the light color
for bevels instead of the prelight color change a few other things.
Both of them are a little less "sharp-edged" than Tomas's original.

Jonathan started with sunken dots but I convinced him to switch to
raised dots because raised dots are what you would want in the real
world - sunken spots in a handle don't give you much of a grip.
