The idea is that buttons only "pop" when you mouse over them. I think 
this gives Cuis a less "busy" look, without all those buttons calling 
for your attention. I think that a look where every button has well 
defined bounds (either for having a border, or a different color than 
background) is reasonable too, and may mean another Theme.

The attach, intended to be loaded after your code,  goes back to that 
"discreet" button look. It also adds a bit more contrast on mouse over, 
so buttons really pop when hovered.

Folks, to see the different, hack #doAdoptWidgetsColor to always assign 
false, and see how stuff look. I think we could remove the ivar, and 
make the 'true' behavior the only one. Anyone against this?
