     In the Smalltalk world, they say, "Don't mode me in!".   
      
     I don't want any externally imposed "modes," but rather the   
     ability to set the colors of my interface elements (text, title bar,   
     background . . .) myself. This was still possible in Windows 98,   
     but it seems to have been severely limited in newer Windows versions.
