AbiWord: Red buttons

All the buttons in AbiWord Portable have a red field behind them, rather than the gray chrome of the rest of the application. There is even a red field behind the AbiWord logo when I alt+tab to the program. This does not appear to alter the functionality of the program. I'm using AbiWord Portable 2.6.4 on Windows 2000 Pro.

Color Depth

What is the color depth of your display (32bit, 16bit, 256 color, etc)? I think there may be a bug in the current AbiWord release around this on Win2K

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

As mentioned, it seems to be a Color Depth problem. I noticed it as well. I set my netbook to 16bit, and see the problem.

I only use the portable version, so I have no idea if the problem is with the portable compression, or also in the native software.

You can see screen shots of the problem here
