The color preferences window has been changed from TopMost. It was Modal 
anyway so didn't need the TopMost style.

I'll work on the hint window.

I'm not sure I follow. Is your editor window also white? If so then use 
the 'Background' selection and change your editor background to 
something the keyword colors will show up against.

placed it. I think I overlooked a routine Martin Stachion sent me once 
that might do the trick, however.
