[JWM] No text colour setting for active tray buttons

Hey you're probably aware of this, but I thought I should point it out 
just in case.  The new gradients and the visual tray button push feature 
look very slick, but it's kind of let down when you have tray buttons 
with text on them (like a start button or something), with a pale 
coloured taskbar and dark text, but dark text and light writing for the 
active window.  When you click on a tray button it turns the dark colour 
and the text disappears because it only has the one colour.
Also, with the window resize at the top issue - have you considered 
putting a border below the title bar? - or enabling separate colours for 
the frame and title bar? - that's why JWM's frame never looked sharp 
like the Windows one, as there was no colour contrast.

Alister.
