I have been moving a V4 application to BB. I wanted a tinted
background on a certain window as a hint of where to look while
working.

>From what I can tell, I can't extend TextViews.View. I have to make a
"wrapper" that implements this. I did have a short experiment where
I bracketed the Viewer opening. (*This is the now depreciated
ForestGreen from .css stylesheets.*)

                        color := Ports.background;
                        (*To have a colored background, I need to make a wrapper view. See
Docu/Tut-6 or ObxWrappers.*)
                        (* Ports.background := Ports.RGBColor(2BH, 8BH, 22H); *)
                        tv := TextViews.dir.New(tm);
                        (* root := Views.RootOf (tv); *)
                        Views.OpenAux(tv, name$);
                        Ports.background := color

Has anyone produced a color wrapper they want to publish?
ObxWrappers beeps at me. I haven't gone back to 1.5 or 1.4 to see if
it works there. I remember that it worked in whatever version was
live in 2000.
