[platform-swt-dev] Coloring buttons and other assorted controls

[Minh Chiem <minhchiem@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying make my screens look more alive by trying to repaint things, 
however atm I'm only finding that my buttons and toolbars won't change 
color (I'm using the windows version). Labels, shells and composites 
work okay. I've attached some test code.
