Well, what if the default was to take on the color of the parent
container. what if I wanted my controls to be a different color than the
background (which I've used more often than having all controls the same
color, when the panel color is not the default)? I think the design of
the particular look and feel is what dictates how things are displayed.
That is another solution, btw, to write your own pluggable look and feel
that follows your preferred color pattern.

Nope... I think it's part of the original design.
