This should be an ez 150 LOC or so. The dialog is a text-list with an ok & 
cancel button.

Also pretty ez - 150 LOC to put a color selector inside of a dialog with an 
ok & cancel button

Not really. If you open up MSWord, you'll see on the far-right 2 toolbar 
controls - one looks like an 'A' and the other a paint-bucket. This pops 
down a menu to let you set the highlight & font colors, respectively. The 
highlight color is the background color behind a particular run of text - as 
if you'd gone over it with a Bic Highlighter.

For a clearer picture or if you're lacking a copy of MSWord, see the 2 
rightmost controls on the 2nd toolbar in this picture:

It's about 10 LOC and most applicable for those platforms whose users use 
command lines :-)
