[UI] FillStyles in borders

[Gary Chambers]

Except when the border and interior overlap... (which can be desired, modern "Mac style" default focus indications, as an example).
Again, for that, a decoration would be best (not a border in the strictest sense).

As for clipping, the lack of low-level support for arbitrary shape clipping in Balloon is a problem and stencil-based clipping might be computationally expensive in BitBlt.
