Comment (by jscipione):
Fill Color is a feature of BeOS Sliders https://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-
docs/bebook/BSlider.html See BSlider::UseFillColor(). We do not currently
regulate when a developer should and should not use a fill color on a
slider in their app. The jpeg and jpeg2000 sliders have a fill color of 0,
0, 229 which is the default value for B_KEYBOARD_NAVIGATION_COLOR, while
the Virtual Memory size slider uses B_CONTROL_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR. The jpeg
and jpeg2000 translators should probably be updated to use a color
constant instead of hardcoding color value. The use of 0, 0, 229 probably
originates from BeOS which had limited color choices, earlier versions did
not include the color constants in a InterfaceDefs.h and you had to pick
something that could be displayed in 256 colors.
