Whoops! Sorry, Liam. I know better than to post answers
before I test them. I renew my test-before-posting pledge. :-)

Indeed. I think my advice was *identical* to yours,
except that I wanted to be sure Rose was in a 24-bit
TrueColor environment. There can only be three reasons
for window colors to change when you load a color table:

1. You are in an 8-bit PseudoColor environment.

2. You are in a 24-bit DirectColor environment.

3. You didn't follow the directions Liam and I sent
*exactly* as we gave them to you. :-) But it *can't*
happen in a 24-bit TrueColor environment.

Cheers,

David
