Summary: Sunken bevels dont work

Initial Comment:
Sunken bevels dont work (because there is no code for 
that currently). Instead with sunken bevel specified, 
color/To are switched for all texture types. 

Well, previously sunken bevels were achieved by 
mirroring the entire texture, and with additional inversion 
of the colors the linear gradients (H,V,D,CD) were not 
inverted as a result, however the centered gradients 
(P,R,PC,E) remained inverted which IMO was somehow 
inconsistent also, but that's the way it was.

Okay, something else: 
I dont know if 'active' sounds so much better than 'hilite' 
but is it really neccessary to break style backwards 
compatibility just for that ? Also, why not 
default 'foregroundColor' to 'textColor' instead to 
just 'black'. Would not hurt to read 'hilite' if 'active' isn't 
found and then existant styles would work pretty much 
the same even without conversion.

I mean there are thousands of styles around for *boxes, 
from authors having made them by hand mostly, so just 
running everything through a conversion utility means 
loss of the 'document character' of styles in my opinion.

Just my 2 cents  :)

FWIW, the default values have to do with a scenario when
there's no style available at all, not just missing parts of
it. In that scenario, the default colors have to be somewhat
usable in as many configurations as possible. That's why the
safe default is a simple black/white combination which is
bound to work even on very low color-depth displays. That's
why black is used and not textColor. Remember, Blackbox is
used in some form or another even on PDA's; having just 2
colors available is not so far-fetched as it may seem.
