But I need the cycle spinner in this case because I have to click on it
a couple of times. Red is just the reminder to click on it.
In the patch are comments to SetTextColor the version number to red
also, but this does not work, because I cannot get yet at the detailled
ListView item, only the global ListView hdc.
So all subsequent text is red.
