Utilities for the Apple IIgs or on any Apple II equipped with a VidHD card to set the color of the text, background, and border.

Awesome, thanks! I hope to have a working dev computer again later today.

I think these need a few things but I can handle after merging:

I originally used the driver_preamble/postamble .includes, but opted not to in the end. This way another theme can be chose after without rebooting or Herculean catalog rearranging efforts. I don't believe there would be any issue on non-GS machines… either nothing will happen or the colors will be applied if a VidHD is installed (VidHD looks for these values at $C022 and lower $C034 on any II). Forced text mode can be removed.
