Comment (by pulkomandy):
"Control" colors are supposed to be the default BControl ones. The idea is
that instead of changing the color for each individual widget (button,
checkbox, etc) we could set a single "control color" setting. BControlLook
should then use this as the default color set for all widgets.
The pulse/shine/shadow and selected menu item borders are not used by the
current look. An example mockup using more of the colors is here:
http://design1st.org/tim/be/images/maui.gif
As you can see, there is a border around the menu selection ("selected
menu item border"), all controls share common colors ("control
background": light grey, "control text": black, "control border": also
black). The navigation pulse/shine/shadow could be used to highlight the
keyboard-focused button, for example.
I think the current look does not use these colors directly, and instead
computes some shades itself using tint_color (for example to highlight the
button under the mouse).
