The ANGIS program "ShadyBox", written by Camson Huynh, does this or UNIX.

"ShadyBox is a drawing program which enables you to box and shade regular
and irregular shaped segments of aligned multiple sequences.  It was
designed with the intention of producing PostScript output suitable for use
in publications.

Version 2.0.3 was implemented with colour features. It is now possible to
colour regions of sequences, individual residues or residues of specified
frequency. Regions may be shaded with colour or the residues themselves may
be coloured."

ShadyBox can be obtained from:
