- Forgive if common knowledge...
-
- As an experienced X-windows user, I really like being able to change
- the fg and bg colors of my windows. Now I find myself using a mac
- w/system 7 nearly all the time, and I'd like to have the same
- capability. I've tried to find a program (pd/commercial) that can do
- this, but since my search came up empty, I figured I'd try to hack
- something myself.
-
- First, has anyone out there done this? If not, any pointers on how it
- might be done? I'd settle for reverse video (ie white fg, black bg)
- if nothing else.
-
- Btw, I'd like this for my *mac* apps... for apps running elsewhere, my
- mac X server does this fine.
