Thanks Jacque,

It's strange though. It makes sense that things like the foreground
and background color are set by the image contents. But what about the
border? You can create a border on an image like any other object. You
can make it 3D. But the border always defaults to black. The top and
bottom colors always default to white and grey. Since these display
like any other object, why not give them the same color attributes as
any other object?

Strangely, you can also set the shadow property and the focusborder
color for an image object even though they don't do anything.

At the least, the documentation should be updated.
