- You can set the icon text color using a ctrl-drag drop from the
- color palette. However, I have been frustrated by some inconsistant
- behavior when appling the various font and scheme palettes.
-
-
- I recommend using the free utility called syscols2.zoo from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in the /pub/os2/all/sysutils directory.
-
- Not only does it come with a lot of sample color palettes but it allows
- you to save customized color palettes into files for tranfer between
- computers. It also is more clearly labled than the os2 scheme palette and
- tends to be less buggy than the color palette and scheme palette.
- Just make sure that you press the 'keep' button if you want a customized
- color palette to survive the shutdown. This stumped me for a bit when I
- started using this utility.
