Wine has a bug with colors in apps per this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds
I used the workaround of installing Xephyr on my Ubuntu system via Synaptic. Then I used the following command to start a window with PDF-Xchange Viewer running in the correct colors, with no more fading or rendering problems:
# first cd to the director containing the PDFXCview.exe file, then I ran: Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 1024x768x256 & DISPLAY=:1 wine PDFXCview.exe
This gave me a 1024x768x256 window. I had to go into wineconfig, and under the graphics tab unchecked the options for allowing the window manager to control and decorate the windows. This allowed me to maximize the program inside the nested window once running.
Looks gorgeous now. Running it in the Xephyr nested window made a huge difference.
