[RFC] A Light Blue theme.

[Joshua Ashton]

Looks nice, similar to the theme I made recently (although it wasn't 
msstyles, I just bodged it).

Have you tried making the pseudo-3D-controls flat yet? I did that for 
tabs and other stuff and it ended up looking much more modern.

Hope this gets in, will be nice to not have Windows 98-style controls as 
people's first perception of running Windows apps under Linux.
