  My goal is button with duotone glyph: i load grayscale glyph from 
resources, then change glyph colors from clBackground (white in source 
glyph) to clWindowText (black in source glyph), and then transfer 
modified image in to button glyph. So, if I want calculate color 
transition then I must have RGB values of clBackground and clWindowText.
  In Windoze this works well, but in Linux one day I noticed that colors 
are not correct.
  I know only this way, but maybe is another (alpha channel?)?

  Thanks, I take look at "themes.pas".
