I give up. I did RTFM. How do you change the solid colors Windows uses? 
I just got a nice 256 color vuideo card and want to change one of the solid
colors to a dark shade of gray so I can use it as a window background,
which has to be solid. I can't seem to see how to do this in Windows.
The COntrol Panel seems not to for doing this. I found that the user defined
colors don;t generate new colors, just dither old ones. 

I am using an Orchid Prodesigned II in 768x1024 mode.
