disabled Button's text glows when bg color of owner is changed

If you have a disabled button in a form (or tabpage) whose background
color is customized, the text on the disabled button will not be
gray. In fact, it becomes a *brighter* version of the backgrond color
of the button's owner, making it glow, destroying the apperance that
it is disabled.

Is this just a quirk, or by design?

(I recognize changing the owner's background color is uncommon, and in
almost all cases should be avoided.)

I believe it is by Design, since it works on the concept of Gamma-
changing. Changing the gamma of certain colors makes them even
brighter.

It is obvious that they are using a similar color of a different
shade, so yes, there is gamma changing (not really the proper term,
though) code that is by design. I think they used the color in the
wrong location (perhaps it was meant for the borders).

So, I think it's by-design code, which has a bug.
