Come to think of it, most of the controls are drawn using Bert Freudenbergs
EdgeImageMorph, so you could do the same coloring trick that Bert's code
used to trick the window frames to color the different control boxes.

Obviously if you spent some time with this, you could come up with better
gray scale images as a base to color with so that the color gradients appear
smoother when drawn.

You should be very afraid at this point. Make a request like "I want window
frame colors" and a few hours later Bert gives them to you...
