Hi all,
I just started playing with shoes, and it looks like a lot of fun to
program.   However, I've gotten stuck on a very simple piece of code.

When I run this simple shoes app on Windows XP:

Shoes.app do
  radio
end

I see a window with a white background, a radio button in the top left
corner, and some gray background around the radio button.  This looks
really odd because the widget background and window background are
different colors.
On linux, the window has the same background color as the widget, so
it looks nice and clean.

The radio button doesn't seem to have any style parameters for the
background color?  I also don't see any examples of radio and check in
the sample code files.  Am I missing something, or is this a bug?  I
tried this code snippet on Raisins and Policeman; same results on
both.

Hardcoding the window background to be the same color as the widget
background will work for one platform but it will be difficult to make
that portable.
What does one do to get a window + native widget with consistent
background color on all platforms?

thanks!
