Steve at Dunbar & Co points out that when trying to get the Query Window to display in a different colour (to ensure the user knows where they are), modifying QUERY.TEMPLATE is not acceptable. Instead, add override background colours to all templates, and change the background window colour in "Set Video" to the desired colour. When Query is invoked, all override colours are removed and the window processor uses the original Set Video colours.
