Very nice!

And right after you fixed the wx.XOR bug!

This still appears to use a wx.ClientDC. Does it not suffer from the 
issues with that we discussed a little while back?

In any case, it's prettier and easier to use.

This is still an issue -- if you don't know what colors may be on the 
screen, how do you make sure to get a contrasting color (at least 
without alpha, which, from your code, only appears to work on the Mac)?
