Summary:

When displaying a rich edit window (via DspRichEdit) in Windows 2000, the text and background colours may appear differently to previous versions of Windows.

Solution:

Windows 2000 draws a rich edit control using the system 3D Objects colour. If you wish to change this colour, open the Control Panel, Display Properties, Appearance tab and select 3D Objects in the Item list. Then choose the colour required. This will change the appearance of all 3D Objects in Windows. This includes Buttons, Menu Bars, Window borders etc.
