	You didn't say which version of Windows you wanted, but the
essential trick is to hand-edit the color table in the appropriate
*.INI file, rather than relying on the Control program. In Windows 2.X,
Control did not have the capability of reversing every color field, thus
you lose the menu bars, etc.Z| You needed to hand-edit the [colors]
field in WIN.INI.
	In Windows 3.0, I haven't tried, but I'm sure the same applies, and
it appears that one needs to edit CONTROL.INI.
