There may(?) be some way to call API/Win32 or somesuch functions to handle this (this sort of approach is used to hack similar things for Windows' windows, which I don't do). I don't know of any for gadget colors - sorry. I dug through MS's online references looking for various things, and while my discovery of such things would have make my trek through the belly of the Beast seem dull and pedestrian, I must report nothing.
There's a way to change the default system colors, but that'd affect ALL gadget colors. Plus, that seems very inelegant. I'd love if there were some way that BlitzGUI's color handling of gadgets could approach VisualBasic's, but I dunno if that's possible since MaxGUI seems pretty standard-based while VB can(?) go far afield....
Since I come from a Visual Basic background, I'm tempted to agree: VB has lots more control over gadgets (as in tons more control) than MaxGUI. However, VB is a giant, bloated mess, and I expect that its "control handling" might(?) come from replacing "real" controls will made-up, fully-adjustible ones (this from comparing the expensive capabilities of API Windows controls with those contained within Visual Basic).
Skidracer? You or Mark are probably best-qualified to address these issues (I've put in what I know, but that's only a patch on what you know).

I feel a little betrayed by BRL here
