Colour maintenance. RevSoft - you too (None Specified)

Saw my app run with a Windows set up with other colours (Control Panel - Display). Yuck! It's really something to try! I'm certain many of you have controls with specific colours, at least from the time before one could use Windows system colours. Have now spent a couple of hours cleaning up, setting Properties | System colors | Default for a lot of controls. (Wish I could do the same for that second-hand car door of mine.)
But RevSoft has a job to do as well, unless they've already cleaned up since OI 3.61, which is the version I use. E.g the dialog box for a response message has an edit line that stays white even if the system "Window" colour is set to something different in Control Panel - Display. And e.g the main OpenInsight window looks like the painter left early.
(One problem I don't expect to be solved is that homemade push buttons don't change colour along with the standard push buttons. That goes for both mine and OI's.)

How can one programmatically set the colours of controls to system colours? Set_Property( objectname, "BACKCOLOR", color ) can only set to specific RGB colours.

Forget that question about setting system colours. Found the system colours in Color_Equates.
