- How about
- 3. do the "BorderBlank" trick if ECS is enabled? That way you can have
- your text/background colors in the way you really like them, and still
- have a dark border. I'd never use a Workbench screen (well, now in
- Retina times things look different, but I remember the past:-)) without
- blanked borders, and if it's just a neat trick to get rid of the one
- flickering line in NTSC mode on the top:-)
