But many programmer's, especially beginner's do pick color choices like that.

When I as the almighty developer have deemed it prudent to change the characteristics of one lone button in my application, I shouldn't be forced to MacGiver something together using bubble gum and paper clips.

And what is the purpose of changing the color of the button? To make it stand out. What happens if the user picks the same colors for their buttons? You're color selection is now meaningless.

I leave all color settings in VFP at their defaults. VFP will then use what the user selected in their Display Settings.
