Hmm...well, I made it with the color picker in a win2000 window running under 
vmware - and I noticed that the gray is maybe a mixture somehow of two 
different grey values, so once I hit the darker one and once I hit the 
lighter one. In essence, it doesn't have the correct values I think as it is 
now, but I think assembling a color scheme is more or less not intellectual 
property as it isn't the same as a widget theme when it comes to look and 
feel. For instance, the native Qt colors that the windows style uses are 
basically the same I think that windows uses; the colors' values are the same 
across systems and as such shouldn't be overvalued. Id' go with the new color 
scheme if it makes it look more idenitcal.
