Don't forget you have to choose the menu option "use full color".

This is a very good question. I'm about to move across the US
to a place where I don't yet have a permanent home, so I'm going
to hold off on officially releasing my current changes until
after that is settled. Even once I'm there, I'm doubtful that
I want to take over WinFrotz maintenence except in a bug-fixing
mode, because I'm not familiar with the UI toolkit that WinFrotz
uses (MFC) and I don't really want to learn it just for WinFrotz
improvements.
