The suddenly black controls are definately fixed with the code Andrew 
and I were working on.  The black is generated because of a bug in the 
GetSysGCValues routine that mistakenly wrote on top of the returned 
converted system color with a zero _after_ it had already figured out 
the correct color.

Not to say more custom widget handling didn't need added as well.
