- Well, with some nasty /* */'s and some other changes in the source (mainly
- include-files, they are just somewhere else - and yes, all those nice packages
- like install and mkdirhier were supposed to be scripts) I was able to compile.
- I still couldn't get the shared version up, and just trying with tetris I had
- some bad experiences...
- If you tell the damn thing not to care bout the colormap and just take all the
- colors it needs, it does very little on intense backgrounds - well, it then
- tries to have a brighter and a darker color, but with white or black or even
- intense blue it fails completely, sometimes on both(!). Only on grey it worked
- fine (so have a line "*background: gray3" ?-).
- I think this needs a little tuning, and maybe I will be able to do so somewhen.
- If you aleady did it, please let me know.
-
- Thanks, goodbye,
- Bernie
