SmartComm has a menu item (Preferences?) that lets you set the
background color.

I found that using Kolor to set the background for windows was
useless.  Some windows, such as the "Receive" popup in SmartComm and
many "About" box windows, appear to "paste up" text, so that all black
text is surrounded by by white.  The result is very ugly.

Color support is generally in its infant stage.  Even NCSA Layout,
which is a program developed for color systems, clashes with what
Kolor does in that it forces the menu bar to be white with black
letters.
