My laptop has a slide switch for "normal" or "reverse" video, and the
default Windows color scheme looks terrible under "normal", great
under "reverse".  I'd like to get the same effect in software, by
creating my own color scheme, so that when I run dumb applications,
the colors continue to look right.

I tried inverting the values corresponding to the default colors, but
couldn't get things like menu item highlighting to look right.  Has
anyone done this?
