No backgroundcolor

Well, now you've got me curious. I think the summary line of this entry 
in the docs is wrong, at least on OS X. The text explanation below it is 
correct; the discussion doesn't talk about border colors, only text 
colors. For a standard rectangle button, only the bordercolor worked to 
change the border (provided threeD is false.) Fields were the same, only 
bordercolor changes the edges. Scrollbars are drawn by the system, so 
can't be colored at all in OS X, even though there are a few color boxes 
enabled in the Inspector (none of them do anything.) I know scrollbars 
allow more colors in MacOS and Windows though.

I didn't test on Windows. Obviously since the original poster got a red 
border on the field using foregroundcolor, there must be a difference on 
that OS. I'd like to know.

Can anyone on a Windows box summarize what you get? Or do I have to drag 
mine out of the closet again? ;)
