Sorry if this is old news, but I just realized it.  You can have different
applications have different colored windows
by giving them different wctb resources (id=0, I think.)
The best way I know to create wctb's is Kolor.  But this only puts
the result in your System file.  You'll probably want to copy this,
put it in an application, then edit it with ResEdit, preferably with 
Jeff Harrow's wctb template.
It works with dumb virtue, at least.
It's especially neat under MultiFinder.
