Ah, that's different. That'd actually require using Gtk/Qt which we cannot
do, the best we can get is to look like them.

To be fully accessible we'd need to implement the OLE Accessibility
framework and bridge it to AT-SPI or something similar.

You'd think so, but I've seen a screenshot of Wine "Industrialised" and it
was truly terrible, unusable even. You really need to use the proper
widget drawing code to make it look good IMHO if the colours are very
different to what Windows normally uses.

A good start would just be to import the Win2K colour scheme.
