How to prevent SystemWindow from overriding the color of a Morph?

Hi,
when i open a Morph via openInWindow in a SystemWindow it's color is overriden by the SystemWindow or the UITheme (i suppose). See attachment for illustration (the Morph is indeed displayed in the Window, but white).

Should i file a bug? Is this a feature? Can i somehow avoid this behaviour?

Best regards, Helene.

I found the cause for this behaviour here:

Morph>>initialColorInSystemWindow: aSystemWindow
"Answer the colour the receiver should be when added to a SystemWindow."
^Color white

which is called by:
SystemWindow>>addMorph: aMorph fullFrame: aLayoutFrame

Can anyone explain, why this is here?

In reply to this post by Helene Bilbo

It was a kind of feature but should be probably be fixed. propose a fix.

In the past the color of the top level frame was propagated to the submorphs or seomthing like that.
