Actually it should only need to be set once and not on each paint event. I've
tracked the problem down and the reason is that whenever a window is opened, its
text and background colours are reset to the default values. So for now, you can
'fix' the problem by setting the text colour in the Activate event for the window
rather than each paint event - not that it uses much computing power.

I've repaired this problem and will release it in the next version.
