I suppose you could grab a 'snapshot' of the fltk widget in question
(just the .cxx and .H file for the widget in question),
and make it part of your code base, renaming it to something like
MyFl_Text_Display, then hack the draw() code as you like.
This way even if FLTK updates, your version of the widget remains
constant, and you don't have to worry about FLTK updates as much,
since the public interfaces usually remain consistent.
It sure beats hacking FLTK directly, as then it becomes very
hard to update FLTK, as you have to 'merge' all your customizations
every release, and that leads to madness.
