New issue 368 by t4769_a... at ...2320...: .ForeGround not accepting color  
constants - Gambas 3.3.4
http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=368

1) Describe the problem.

I created a config file that includes, [StartUp]
LabelColour="Color.Black".

The program includes:
lblTest.ForeGround =
       Settings["StartUp/LabelColour",
       "Color.White"]

When started, Gambas3 generates a line error,
"Type Mismatch: Wanted string got integer instead"

BreakPoints and debugging around the issue get what is expected,
Settings["StartUp/LabelColour",
       "Color.White"] = "Color.Black"

***Strange thing, when I wrote a test program it worked perfectly.***

Also:
lblTest.ForeGround = "Color.Black" generates no error messages.

I thought the Gambas3 code was the culprit but a removed and re-installed  
Gambas3 but still have the problem.

I checked the form and class codes but all seems in order.

This problem is not limited to this label. I tried textlabels and buttons  
also and the problem is duplicated with .ForeGround and .BackGround.

This is not normal behavior. I thought a reinstall would help. I also  
thought removing the Gambas3.conf and starting over but that doesn't help.

Any help . . .

3) Provide a little project that reproduces the bug or the crash.
A sample project does not duplicate the issue.

4) If your project needs a database, try to provide it, or part of it.

5) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.
include ???.Foreground = Settings[ ... and the problem arises.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you encounter several different problems or bugs, (for
example, a bug in your project, and an interpreter crash while debugging
it), please create distinct issues!
