^H HELP 11: Colours

^B ^C ^U Changing the screen colours (Page xx)

    Experiment with the colours.

    For each graphic element you can choose one of 16 different
    colours. So there are 268,435,456 different combinations.

    You may not be able to try them all, but the following
    is recommended (in EGA and VGA): Click the "+" button
    behind "White squares" and "Black squares" eight times each
    for an attractive grey-shaded board.

    On monochrome screens you can only invert the screen, board
    and pieces - useful for laptops with inverted LCD displays.

    If you want to return to the default values simply delete the
    file FRITZ.PAR, which contains all the colour settings.
