Each object has 8 color properties which dictate all of the color
settings e.g. foreColor, backColor etc. For fields with threeD turned
on, check out bottomColor & topColor which dictate the color of the
top & left borders and the bottom & right borders respectively.
Normally they just inherit the default setting from the stack, but if
you have imported a HyperCard stack, the default may not be correct.

As a matter of policy, I find it better to re-create stacks rather
than import HyperCard stacks. I can usually copy & paste most of the
scripts, but I find I get a better result by re-creating the interface
in a purely Rev stack.
