[Rd] FR: Customize background colour of row and column headers for the View output

[Duncan Murdoch]

This seems like something that should be fairly easily doable.  Why 
don't you work out a patch?

Some decisions to make:

- What colours are we talking about?  Would you want the labels to have 
their colour set independent of the dialog colours?  If so, would you 
also want to configure the dialog colours?

- What names should be used for the colours?

- Where should all of these definitions be documented?

If you don't feel comfortable with the coding, perhaps you could answer 
these questions, and someone else may code it for you.  I won't (I no 
longer have easy access to Windows), but I could help with the design.
