- You do have to set VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION to ON. Otherwise, your
- display doesn't seem to repaint properly. This was true with the
- older Windows drivers, as well.
-
- The hilight bar is much better than before. The previous hi-color
- driver had it white on light blue, making it nearly unreadable. This
- version has it black on blue, which is very nice.
-
- BTW: You can change these colors and others by adding the following
- entries to your win.ini file (under the [colors] section):
-
- ButtonFace=192 192 192
- ButtonShadow=128 128 127
- ButtonText=0 0 0
- GrayText=192 192 192
- Hilight=0 255 255
- HilightText=0 0 0
- InactiveTitleText=0 0 0
- ButtonHilight=255 255 255
-
- The values are the way my Windows environment is configured. They
- represent levels of red, green, and blue, respectively. They are not
- available through the Control Panel. Note that they were available on
- Windows 3.0 this way as well. Those with Windows 3.0 installations
- can find these settings described in the winini?.txt files, in the
- Windows directory.
