- I've run accross an interesting problem that I hope someone can shed
- some light on. Using the scheme palette I can successfully change the
- color of both the Icon Text and Shadow Text, but NOT the font (at least
- not in the way I want to). Specifically, I want both the Icon Text and
- Shadow Text to be black (easy enough to do), but I want the Shadow text
- to be Italicized (like a Mac alias). I find that it is easier to
- destinquish between objects and shadows of objects that way. HOWEVER,
- when I select Shadow Text in the scheme palette, then Font... and change
- the font to Italic, the font for ALL objects changes. I don't understand
- why OS/2 would keep color info seperate, but not font info, especially
- when the scheme provodes the Font option for both Icon Text and Shadow
- Text. Is it possible somehow to this or not?
