I don't think hard coded colors are doing any good anywhere. I actually think 
hard coded values should just be avoided everywhere.

What it assumes is that HighlightedText will contrast with Window, what I 
think is acceptable.

I will not accept any patch that will try to set a hard coded value to any of 
the widget settings. However, I would accept a patch that with some logic 
makes this work all right in all cases.

If you can provide me a color scheme that is causing problems I will be very 
happy of trying to trigger this issue down.
