From the source code it is easy to tell, that NSBox draws the 
background and the background of the text cell in the same colour as the 
current window background colour. Not sure if this is correct. We could 
as well not draw anything at all or use the control background colour. 
Or ask the super view for it background colour, if this is available 
from this view.

The NSTabView on the other hand doesn't do that much drawing itself. 
Mostly it just renders iamges, that wont adopt to any colour changes.
