i am thinking these are too literal in look and less semantic. the first 2
anyway. what happens if someone wants to go windows 8 and have no
embossing/engraving and all flat? :)

what is this meant to do? quick mockup sketches would be handy.

agreed. we need more pre-made semantic tags. what's "val" by the way?

these i might disagree with. way too literal. semantics are better. these
colors are used for PURPOSES in your app - use that purpose (meaning) as the
tag. :)

that is hard as it's a massive amount of drawing.

ok.

what does "primary" mean here?

better provide colorclasses and a reduced number of "master" classes, like bg,
fg, hi (for example).

sure - the above - a short list (3, 5 ... almost certainly less than 10) of
color classes that can be queried and used if you do your own drawing.

hmmm. why? isn't a label good enough? :)
