I do want to control rendering of the focus rectangle if it's not accessible. For example, I may not be able to see a thin rectangle but I could see a thicker rectangle (e.g., line width 5pt rather than 1pt). We can reduce the scope to colors, but I don't think that will cover all the cases. - Ian > Someone told me how to to change the "reverse video" colors in Windows.
