- Pat, come now.... lets not be *NEGATIVE*!!! I found by accident that
- the Shadow Text changed (for me at least) after I shut down and rebooted.
- So lets not think of this as...as...as a _bug_, but more as a F E A T U R E.
- OS/2 (at least the 2.1 Beta) will change the color of your shadows
- only after you have had time to fully think out your decision and reboot.
-
- Then again for some people (myself), this might scare and confound the SHIT
- out of them as they reboot MUCH later and then say:
-
- Oh, NO!!! what happened to half of my Icons!!! What's wrong...why
- are they orangish-red (as I had chosen)?!?!?!
-
- 3 minutes of panic later...
- "Oh, yeah...I did tell it to change my Shadow Text to that color...
- GOOD!"
-
-
- BTW- I agree in *full* re: "Your cat only pretends to like you.
- It really just wants your money." & "Cats are scum."
- I take a dog's "[can we go out and play _together_]" over
- a cat's "[Oh, all right. I'll let you feed me and board me
- just this one more day..but don't BOTHER me or I'm gone!]"
- anyday :)
