Hi,

Not strictly FPC related, but I know here are some OS/2 software developers around - and I have no idea where else to ask.

I'm working on supporting OS/2 in fpGUI Toolkit and creating OS/2 themes. Looking at some of the OS/2 screenshots I have collected, I noticed that in the same dialog you sometimes have blue text and sometimes black text. Anybody know why, and what is the difference between the two (other than the color alone)?

Here is an example:

The only pattern I can see is that "static text" (eg: labels and groupbox captions) use the blue text, but Checkboxes, Buttons, Menu Items etc use the black text. I still don't understand IBM's reasoning behind this though - but would like to know out of curiosity.

Regards,
  Graeme
