How different do you want it?
Quite different ;)
White was deemed too bright, gray75
was deemed too dark. gray80 was the compromise color. I used
gray80 for the widgets so that the text in them would not be any
less readable than the rest of the frame. It was supposed to
avoid another holy war about the colors (haha, silly me).
Does this mean you agree with the rest of my mail? I personally would like
white - or if that's too bright something reminiscent of paper - e.g.
whitesmoke, cornsilk, oldlace, wheat.
We should be able to tint the widget colors slightly to get some
separation and still keep the brightness level the same. Would
that satisfy those of you who want to cleave my louse-bitten head?
I would favour tinting the default face background rather than the widgets
- but that's another holy war.
