There's a little bug in degui when using trucolor modes.  In the color.c
file i used makecol8() when I should have put makecol().  This problem
will only occur if you use the reset_default_colors (or something like
that) function.  If you want a workaround, you can set the colors
directly like this:

degui_fore_color = makecol( .....);
degui_back_color = ....

Look in the degui.h header for the 8 colors that you need to set.

I should be able to put the fixed version (1.22) on my webpage tonight.
