RS> I meant that over the full range of whats out there, not RS> just considering mono cards/screens, but much more RS> importantly the laptops/notebooks, its not possible to have a RS> color scheme which is guaranteed to be visible/usable on RS> all. AWL> Monochrome Normal/Highlight/Inverse... AWL> Must come close... RS> Nope, there are, particularly with a CGA card and a mono RS> monitor, some screen intensity settings which dont allow RS> that to be visible. Thats a particular problem with those RS> systems that use a highlight to make the menu key letter RS> stand out in a menu word. D'OH! I knew that. I've even coded support for it, and for those non-PC MS-DrOSs system that didn't have the PC high-bit-set boxdraw characters... (Takes me back, it does :-) RS> There is a lot to be said for a very minimal install like RS> for Telix DOS has which atleast allows you to select the RS> minimum stuff like that screen detail. Very true, also means you get the chance to do things like put it in D:\APPS\THINGY instead of it just dumping itslef into C:\THINGY RS> The other problem with your very minimal 'color' scheme as RS> a default is that plenty of dummys will just look at it on RS> their SVGA etc, say 'yuk' and not even realise that its RS> easily changeable. (l)Users suck... RS> Atleast with the minimal install Telix has, you can offer a RS> few obvious alts. I think Mr Vettoretti had the truth of it... Shoot the fuckers... ...Alex.
