Maybe instead of using an existing theme color, the "prelight" could
be autocomputed as a function of the normal color - lighter for dark
colors, darker for light colors (and if the panel has a pixmap
background, by doing a gdk_pixbuf_saturate() kind of thing).  That
might look nicer. Then you could also have a simple toggle for whether
to do it (or a slider for how much to do it).

Just trying to come up with ideas...
