This is certainly possible. I just took the easy way out in my patch and gave the user the possibility of redefining the colors WINGs calls "white", "black", "gray", and "darkGray" (and "lightGray" and "tabColor" for the two special unselected tab cases). The "white" color is especially problematic I think, because it is used both for highlighting selected things and as a highlight on the edges of buttons. If you want a nice bright color for highlighting text (like the orange that Ubuntu uses in its Radiance and Ambiance GTK themes), then the buttons look silly. But if you want your button highlights to be just a slightly lighter shade of your background color, you can't really make out the highlighted text. I might play around with this in the future. Doug
