The color of the highlighted text and the highlighted background in
selected menu bars is specified in the resources which have been compiled
into the Windows display driver. In this case it sounds like the STB
1kx768x256 driver is using the same color set as specified in the 8514
resources. There is no way (that I know of) to change this except by
changing the resources and rebuilding the display driver.


Sorry...
