Default System Colors

[William Poetra Yoga H]

The last time I submitted a patch to change the default system colors from
win95 to winxp (classic), it wasn't merged. I think this was because I didn't
discuss it here.

So now, should we change the default system colors for WINE, from win95 to
winxp (classic)? I really think it looks a lot better with the new colors, as
the win95 colors are too dull (MS certainly must have done a lot of research
into this).

Opinions, please.

How about using the color setting from the X11 environment? Wine could read it 
on startup and convert it to registry keys.

Yes, we could do that, but I don't think it's a good idea. Windows programs are
meant to be run on Windows, and people coming from Windows (I used to do
Windows a few years back) expect the colors to match the ones on Windows,
regardless of the colors of the current desktop environment.

We could make it an option instead, and make the Win2K colors the default. But
my patch hasn't been merged :'( Don't know why...
