The Kolor Cdev has the ability to change the backgroud color of a window
with the Backgroud fill option. But remember that most programs erase 
their windows to white before drawing. (which is not correct they should
erase to the backcolor). You can see this in the finder when its windows
refresh. Try this, in the Kolor cdev change the "Background fill"
to any color that you want. Then resize the window. Watch the color
appear and then get erased to white. The Growincon and the space between the 
double line is the background color.
