The only time you want to create multiple windows is if you need to monitor
input events seperately for each item. Otherwise, you should just create one
window, and draw the list items differently. There are many ways to change
the colors of the drawn items.
For example, you can set the forground and background colors of the
drawn text, or you can draw a rectangle and then draw the text on top of it.
You can do much of this offscreen and avoid flickering.
