What I always wanted to be able to do was change the *window borders* from
gray to a nice green marble texture or something else.  I know this could
make the displays nonstandard and possibly add to the graphics overhead, but
it would really make the display look a lot more aesthetically pleasing.

What's the use of having color if it's only in a few specks on a gray screen?
