Compare between Minefield and Notepad status bar background and foreground colors. I used Windows Classic style, with Windows Standard color scheme, changing 3D Objects background color to #555753 and foreground color to #FFF.
Notepad uses 3D Objects foreground color for status bar text, while Minefield does not.

There are three foreground colors in Windows classic:
* window / message box: default
* 3D: used for button text, status bars, toolbars, tabs, and the arrows on the scrollbar, dropdown, and spinner buttons
* menu: used for both the menu bar (even when its appearance is that of a 3D button) and the actual menu frames
We deviate from standard Windows behavior in these areas:
* We use window instead of 3D color for the status bar
* We use window instead of 3D color for toolbar elements
* We use window instead of 3D color for tabs
* We use window instead of 3D color for spinner arrows
In almost all themes, these three colors have the same values, which is why discrepancies in our usage goes unnoticed.
Aside: It should also be noted that these colors are classic colors and apply only to widgets that are drawn classically. uxthemed widgets use colors defined by the theme for that element, which is why in Luna, you will notice that changing colors around will have no effect on apps that are uxthemed (note that menus in Luna are still drawn classically--just without a 3D bevel--and are not uxthemed, so they do follow changes of classic system colors) (legacy apps that don't have the manifest to use the new uxthemed controls will still follow classic system colors on Luna). We currently do not pull out uxtheme colors (except in a few cases) and just use classic colors with uxtheme (which usually works because they are set to the same color). In the long run, we will probably want to address this issue (by having setting a foreground color through -moz-appearance and having that override any color set in CSS), but that's a matter for another bug. I thought I'd just mention this, in case some asks "what about Luna/Aero/etc.?"

This bug's priority relative to the set of other polish bugs is:
P4 - Polish issue that is rarely encountered, and is easily identifiable.
Clearly broken, but only effects a limited set of OS themes.

We don't support having a status bar anymore, and this doesn't seem relevant for tabs and toolbars anymore either. (Windows Classic itself is obsolete now.)
