Does anyone have any information as to why the open look specification
does not allow an application to present the user with some items in
a choice field greyed-out.  If items in a menu can be greyed-out, why not
in a choice item?

Also, it seems that you can set the color of everything in a panel item
except the label.  Are there any plans to add this attribute to XView.
Our customer wants green labels with white or amber values.  I know it's
ugly, but they pay the bills :-).
