So what is the dif. between these and BTN_Shadow/BTN_Highlight??
If there isn't any they are easily mapped!

Granted this way makes more sense for GTK/QT/X, but for Win32 I don't think 
it would make as much sense yet.. not until a good portion of the Win32 is 
done and we can start redesigning Lazarus colors etc.. based on what makes 
most sense for everywhere. Until then simply mapping as much as is possible 
to Win32 colors makes most sense, esp. because most programs to be ported 
will be from Delphi not Kylix, and therefore will expect it that way.
