So sorry, but this is how string gadgets work. I heard a rumor once that
you could use ColorText (the Colorfont hack) to make a font that the 
string gadget used that was a different color, but alas, it is still
a hack. Jim Mackraz assures us this is fixed in 1.4. (NO, no one knows
when 1.4 will be out, so don't bother asking :-)).

Well, it's "different" than what you are probably used to. Once you
get the zen of it the development process goes much faster and becomes
quite enjoyable.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
