Curious to see if the 'ignores user's color scheme' problem was fixed, I 
decided to give one of these a whirl. My first attempt crashed while 
downloading the mirror list (VS2005 seems to indicate a NULL dereference 
in msvcrt.dll, but isn't giving much in the way of more useful 
information). But now it's not happening. Oh, well.

Anyway... the problem with colors is /improved/ but not fixed. The text 
is now legible (which is wonderful, thanks!) but the tree structure, 
including the clickable [+] and [-] icons is now 99.9% invisible (turns 
out they ARE a different color, but not one that is visually 
distinguishable from my window background).

My current window background color is (70,74,80); it seems this is the 
only color that controls the color of the tree lines (if I change this 
color, and ONLY this color, I also get a different color for the tree 
lines). Several choices of color (e.g. (64,0,128)), result in tree lines 
that *are* exactly the same color!
