	Yes ! I have exactly the same problem !
And now some comments:
Eric says in the docs that he had the idea of writing DropCLoth when he 
heard somebody from Apple Computers saying that Amiga's WB was bad because
the colours in the windows were the same as the color of the screen ( I quote
form memory).
My question is: why couldn't this be changed ? 
Just change the colors in the screen and in the backdrop window ?
WHat's wrong with this ?
