That's probably it.  LordBlick, is the background of the DRC and ERC
report widgets white on your system?  If so then I'm not sure what the
best solution would be.  I guess we could use
wxSystemSettings::GetColour() to fetch the wxSYS_COLOUR_WINDOW color and
set the HTML widget background color accordingly but it may make the
colored text difficult to see.
