Comment 8 for bug 220263

The following patch is arguably correct, and it improves the situation in the
DarkMarble theme, but makes it worse in Metal (because it's using a color that
was intended for labels rather than large chunks of text) and LCARS (because we
use WindowText on a ThreeDFace background).

I think if we really want to fix this we need to change some of the ways system
colors are used in the Classic skin. To do this, it would be helpful to
understand exactly what some of the system colors (e.g., WindowText,
AppWorkSpace, etc) mean in Windows (since that's where they came from, and the
CSS definitions aren't too informative).
