Re: Having an applet inheriting the panel's color

[Chris Phelps <chicane reninet com>]

As Havoc mentioned, you probably need to be passing around a pointer to
the color rather than the color itself...the signal handlers arent
really setup for that...also, you probably will want to allocate the
color, or the background may just turn black.
Later,
