I have added this as a change request on the list at SourceForge:

	https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=890161&group_id=20243&atid=370243

I could change things so that methods that currently expect an Integer  
for a FOX color value will accept either an Integer *or* an FXColor  
instance, e.g.

	widget.textColor = Fox.FXRGB(255, 0, 0)

and:

	widget.textColor = Fox::FXColor.new(255, 0, 0)

are equivalent. One concern, however, is how to handle return values  
for methods that currently return colors as Integers. That is, I think  
to preserve back-compatibility those methods would need to continue to  
return color values as integers. Any thoughts?
