Defender's window uses the ultra bright white background. What's up with
that? All my other programs use the background specified in "Appearance".

I've wondered whether Vista specs have anything to do with this. I'd thinkDave M said:From my perspective, the gradients used in defender amplify the subjective
whiteness in that window, so I can see what your saying even though
there's objectively no difference from just the standard pure white. I
believe there's more of this to come for us within Vista.

most monitors have a control to change the basic color levels. On my monitor,
I can use the control buttons near the bottom of the screen to adjust
brightness, contrast, position, and a number of other aspects of the screen
appearance. One of the choices is "Color Select" and it lists 5500°, 6500°,
and 9300°; The higher the number the brighter the whites look.
Color Temperature is measured using a theoretical black body heated to
various temperatures; a cannon ball is a close approximation. At about 900°,
the black body starts to glow red, at 3000° the ball glows about the same
color as an incandescent light bulb. At about 4500°, the color of fluorescent
lights is achieved. 5500° is close to direct sunlight. 9300° approaches the
color of the brightest blue sky and whites start looking blue. Color
Temperature is measured using the Kelvin Scale.
