Which makes it even more invisible...  :-)

Is there a real reason, why I have to use a theme engine? I'm interested
if there are fundamental reasons, why it is not possible to change the
colors of focussed widgets / "FOCUSSED" is not a real state
(as in NORMAL, ACTIVE, PRELIGHT, SELECTED, INSENSITIVE)?

Or is this just a "We are in an api-freeze, please no new binary-
incompatibility-introducing-idease please"-reply?   :-)))
