Very simple. In the window set-up screen for the windows you are going to
run these programs in, change the "Uses own colors" to Y. Currently you have
it as N, so that DV imposes a mapping of the colors as you set them up (or
the default) in the installation.

P.S.
If you actually see this, can you please email me, as I'm not sure that my
postings are getting out.
(I mean just Mr. Dae-kyun Yoon - I don't need lots of email - thanks)
