[BUG] Setup.exe does not work properly with high contrast colour scheme.

Setup does not play well with any of the windows desktop high contrast
color schemes. It is usable with "High Contrast #2", but utterly
unusable with "High Contrast Black".

Essentially the background for the text used to describe a package or
package group is fixed to 'White' rather than the system default. So
if you use a windows color scheme like "High Contrast Black", which is
a black background with white foreground text, you cannot see the
displayed text.

This is easily verified by running setup.exe under a high contrast
scheme, or switching schemes while setup.exe is in the package
selection menu.
