1-2-3 SCREEN COLORS
From PC-WORLD Magazine *.* page 311 Oct 1985
You can change the color of the Lotus screens on version 1A with this debug
patch and the TD.DRV file. TD.DRV provides the color for Lotus, but does not
provide a way to change the default colors.
Check Table 1 to determine the offset address of the worksheet feature
you'd like to change. Each feature has a 2 digit default value. The FIRST
DIGIT controls the BACKGROUND color and the SECOND DIGIT controls the
FOREGROUND color. Only colors 0 through 7 are allowed for the background.
Make a backup copy of TD.DRV to another disk. Then use the DEBUG.COM and
TD.DRV to change the colors. A>debug td.drv <enter>
Debug will display a hyphen prompt ( - ). At debugs prompt, type E
followed by the appropriate offset address, then press <enter>. Debug will
display the offset address and its current value. Make sure the current value
matches the default value shown in table 1. If it doesn't you shouldn't
attempt these changes. If the current value matches the default value, type
the desired color value, press <enter>.
For example: To make the border color and cursor green, type -E 17E
<enter>, then type 20 <enter> (right at the end of the address and default
color number debug displays).
You can repeat the E command to change another features color. When your
through, type W <enter> at the hyphen prompt to write the modified TD.DRV to
the disk. At the next hyphen prompt type Q <enter> to return to DOS.
Then run Lotus to see how you came out. IF you don't like the colors you
selected, run DEBUG and TD.DRV again.
