   COLORBOX lets you set your dialog boxes to any
color you want. This makes your dialog boxes more
colorful -- and sets them off from the main window.

   You CAN'T do the same thing from the Windows
Control Panel. Whatever you set there for WINDOW
TEXT and WINDOW BACKGROUND holds both for your
main window and for your dialog boxes.

   To color your dialog boxes, you have to leave
COLORBOX running. Besides coloring your boxes, it
will also center them on the screen. It only has
an effect on "standard" dialog boxes (ones with a
classname of "#32770"). It will leave alone
nonstandard ones -- which often have fancy color
schemes (e.g. grey patterns) of their own.

   If you want COLORBOX to run automatically when
you start Windows, drag it to your StartUp group.
If you want it to start hidden, add a "HIDE"
command-line parameter; your Program Manager command
line might then read "C:\JUNK\COLORBOX HIDE."

   I wrote COLORBOX in Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5
(source code included). It has one bug that I know
about. If you have two dialog boxes open at the same
time when you close COLORBOX, your system may crash.
The solution is easy: close your dialog boxes before
you close COLORBOX. You would probably do this anyway.
Normally you just leave COLORBOX running.

   COLORBOX is a freeware and requires Windows 3.1
or above.
