I use the following trick to generate a "window" with background different
from the parent screen, which should also work for you.

Remove all the gadgets you want

SetRast(w->RPort, back);	/* back is new fore in MY case, not yours */
RefreshWindowFrame(w);
AddGList(w, gad, -1, -1, NULL);
RefreshGadgets(w->FirstGadget,w,NULL);

This might cause a "flash" but should do the job.
