The Web Page Editor design pane does not use high-contrast colors when the system is set to use a high-contrast theme (or equivalent)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable high-contrast in your OS display settings (In WinXP, right-click on the desktop > Properties > Appearance. Choose "Windows Classic Style" and set the Color scheme as "High Contrast #1" say)
2. In Eclipse, create a new dynamic web project with the JSF facet.
3. Create a JSP page and open it with WPE. Notice the design view here.

Expected Results:
WPE should conform to the high-contrast color scheme (for accessibility reasons).

Actual Results:
The WPE design pane colors do not conform to the high-contrast color scheme set in the system.

It turns out Windows has a separate High Contrast Mode (left Alt + left Shift + PrintScreen) which is a little different than setting a high contrast color scheme, which the original bug description talks about.

Under the high contrast mode, the original bug desciption does not hold entirely, but the problem still remains: The WPE widgets this time do not respect the custom color combination.
