Hi Jim,
the current version v0.55.1 divides controls into those having Button Face
Color and those having Window Color. This was done because some controls
looked wrong under the older scheme were all had Button face color. However,
I can see from your request that if the parent window doesn't have
ButtonFace color ('cos you ran setWindowBackColor()), then some controls are
now the "wrong" color when created. To remedy this, I propose that certain
controls take their parent's color when created. Others like EditText and
MleText will still have Window Color.

As a workaround, you could always run setWindowBackColor() on controls to
fix this scheme before rendering the controls.

  object ParentColor
  ParentColor = getControlInfo(ChildWin, {CONTROLINFO_bcolor})
  ParentColor = ParentColor[1]

  Label1  = create( RText, "Enter earliest YEAR to process",  ChildWin, 18,
30, 250, 20, 0 ),
  setWindowBackColor( Label1,  ParentColor )
