Yes, I've seen the problem. That and the fixing the combo boxes are high =
priority items for this weekend. Here's the blurb from the Win32 help =
file:

"Text and Background Color

Applications can use the SetTextColor function to set the color of text =
drawn in the client-area of their windows, as well as the color of text =
drawn on a color printer. An application can use the SetBkColor function =
to set the color that appears behind each character and the SetBkMode =
function to specify how Windows should blend the selected background =
color with the current color or colors on the video display.=20

The default text color for a display device context is black; the =
default background color is white; and the default background mode is =
OPAQUE. An application can retrieve the current text color for a device =
context by calling the GetTextColor function. An application can =
retrieve the current background color for a device context by calling =
the GetBkColor function and the current background mode by calling the =
GetBkMode function. "


You can call SetBkColor with to SetBackColor( iWin, iRGB ). Jeff had =
sent me some code that I've tried this out on. The title text for the =
SLE changes when you set the background color, but not the text on the =
Frames. I'm not sure what attributes the SLE has that the Frame doesn't. =
I'll have to play with it some more.

Sorry I don't have an immediate fix.
