I don't give a damn about that. I just don't want large areas of gray to 
darken and lighten when I switch windows. Or change colors. It draws 
attention to the widgets, which is exactly something I'm definitely not 
interested in. I'm working on documents, not buttons, scrollbars and dialog 
backgrounds.

actually useful to do with that.
