We use system colors and dialog control for pretty much all our GUIs,
but we've run into a problem when using a system background color on
text labels on tab controls: There seems to be no system color that
will match the theme color of a dialog tab control...

We use the text labels as names on dialog frames so we cannot use a
transparent label, it must have a background color that matches the
tab color. With the XP theme that color is a shade of white...so the
"Panel and object" color does not match (it's a light shade of grey).
With the classic theme the tab has the panel and object color
allright, but the XP theme is different.

Is there a system color we've overlooked, or?
