In 10.3 Panther both static text items ("Res ID:") dim and undim as 
expected when the corresponding checkbox is clicked.

In 10.2.7 only the lower static text item dims and undims; the upper 
one remains undimmed.

I recall a confused bug history related to dimming static text in 
Carbon apps under 10.1.  Carbon static text controls did not dim when 
the window was made inactive.
Perhaps this is a lingering relic in 10.2, finally fixed in 10.3.
