See attachment

    https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=19078

for the colors used in IE7 - white on blue.  See also...

    https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=19077

...for the source HTML.

While we're here, I notice that ...

- MenuText is rendering white, when it should contrast with Menu DOH!!
- Menu is currently mirroring the light blue highlight color, when it should
really be a light gray
- CaptionText on ActiveCaption should be black on mid gray.  Currently black on
black. DOH!!!!
- InactiveCaptionText on InctiveCaption should be black on light gray. 
Currently black on white. Sigh.


AGAIN FOR GOD'S SAKE LOOK AT https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=19077
I WROTE THAT PAGE FOR A REASON.  IT SHOWS A WHOLE WINDOW, CONTAINING MENUS AND
BUTTONS RENDERED TO LOOK NATIVE WITH THE NATIVE COLORS IN EXACTLY THE WAY
MICROSOFT INTENDED. IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE A MAC OR A PC OR SOME SENSIBLE COMBO.
 NOT A STUPID LOOKING UNREADABLE MISHMASH

I don't mean to get upset.  You guys are doing a great job with WebKit.  But
you need to UNDERSTAND how these colors are supposed to be used before you make
the next change.  You can't just keep changing stuff to make one website or
another correct with the two colors ffrom the palette that it uses.  You have
to correct the whole pallete to be consistent.

I'm not asking for much here, just colors.  If you wanted to be CLEVER, you
could use these colors as hints to render a window drag bar for Caption, or
render a popup as a menu rather than an input if it is colored *Menu.
