#26 User defined colors don't work on self messages

[Harry Parker]

Thanks for this program. Just started this week using it in earnest for large diagrams.

Biggest bug for me: Highlight color options for text and background works great for messages between objects, but is ignored for messages objects send to themselves.

I would also like color options to apply to notes, especially for links, to distinguish them from ordinary text. Perhaps they could default to blue, even better: underlined, like old fashioned browser links. I suppose this could be considered a feature request.

I'm running: 4.2-beta7
Build date: April 24 2016
Java version: 1.8.0_91 (Mac OS X)

I've fixed the bug and uploaded 4.2-beta8. A user-defined background-color is no longer ignored when a self-message is drawn.

I have not yet implemented user-defined colors for other things like notes etc., but that might happen in the future...

Thanks for fixing this. I downloaded & tried the new 4.2 beta 8. The self message coloring works well now.
