SystemWindow>>addMorph:fullFrame: change the colors of the added morph
to preserve the SystemWindow color theme (there is a preference to turn
this off, but I don't remenber the name right now). You can change the
color of the button after you add it to the Windows, but that will not
work if you afterwards change the SystemWindow color via the
SystemWindow's menu option.
The expected way for you to doing what you need is to use an extra morph
between the SystemWindow and your buttons, so this intermediate morph
will be the one recolored and not your buttons. Conceptually think of
this morph as a panel to hold widgets on a SystemWindow (This panel
might hold many different buttons for example and layout them in row
fashion, or whatever you like)
