Umm, maybe not so easy with the HID since it seems color allocation is now done in multiple spots, but on the Sourceforge CVS, where all color is done in one place, try changing the line in gui-utils.c: colormap = gtk_widget_get_colormap(out->top_window); to colormap = gdk_colormap_new(gdk_visual_get_system(), TRUE); For the actual color allocation, it already uses "best match".
