- OK, you've tried the hard way, now try the easy way:
-
- 1) in your current (wrong color) cmdtool type:
-
- cmdtool -bg black -fg yellow &
-
- 2) now quit the cmdtool that has the wrong color scheme.
- 3) if you have customized your openwin-menu file add the "-bg black
- -fg yellow" to your cmdtool statrup line.
- 4) SAVEWORKSPACE!!! - this puts the color info in the right place.
-
- Or, if you don't like this approach, edit your .openwin-init file to
- look like this:
-
- toolwait cmdtool -Wp 387 0 -Ws 593 869 -WP 161 833 -Wi -fg yellow -bg black
