Ah, a fg/bg "swap". But what if the background is an image?

Maybe some sort of color "operation" like XOR, etc.
highlight-method: dim|reverse|exchange(url)|operand(color)
highlight-operand: xor|and|or
highlight-opacity: <percent>
I'm just brainstorming here -- I know Apple defined a whole bunch of
these things for QuickDraw (I think one's a BIC or something), so
this was not a complete list by any means, just a basic idea off the
top of my head. If someone here is familiar with what I'm referring
to, please correct me! ;)
