Yes that's right and here is how to do it.

1. Remove the fillcolor:Color property from Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel

2. Add new properties Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel > Imagefile:Filename and select a 1px image with colour you want to use, this will not show in the run box but it will be visible on other Task Dialog screens. (You can also use a very simple pattern image if you like and set the image to SizingType:Enum > tile)

3. Change Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel > BGTypeEnum:Borderfill to Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > PrimaryPanel > BGTypeEnum:Imagefile

4. Now for the colour around the text in the run box, change Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BTNFace:Color, make this color the same as Explorer & Shell > Shell > TaskDialog > ContentPane >FillColor:Color

The Black text will change on it's own to the main Window Text Color

Here is an example of how you want the properties to look.
