You assumed correctly when you tried to apply colors to those stacks.
However, is it possible that copies of the ask and answer dialogs from the
MC tools stack were present, and when you changed the colors it was those
stacks that got changed? To avoid this problem, open MC, then run:
delete stack "ask dialog"; delete stack "answer dialog"
*before* opening up your stack file. Then open up the stack file that
contains your ask and answer dialogs and set the colors:
set the colors of stack "answer dialog" to the colors of stack "home"; save
stack "anwer dialog"
...ditto for the "ask dialog". Next, exit MetaCard and reopen before doing
anything else - do this step to restore the ask and answer dialogs you
deleted from the mctools stack, otherwise you may make some other change to
mctools in the same session and forget and save mctools - in which case you
would save it without the ask and answer dialogs you deleted.
