- I find the Atari colour monitor very hard on the eyes during extended
- computing sessions. Most terminal and word processing programs default to
- a bright white background with black text, just like staring at a light bulb!
-
- If you share my discomfort with the colour display then I recommend you
- purchase the Atari monochrome monitor with its increased resolution and soft
- white glow. Alternately you may want to try Monitor Magic!
-
- Place Monitor Magic in the root directory of your boot drive and it will
- install itself as a desk accessory. The first thing Monitor Magic does is
- check to see which monitor you are using. If you happen to use the mono
- monitor then your only option will be to invert the screen colours (no big
- deal!) If you are using the colour monitor then you will be presented with
- three options upon selecting Monitor Magic from your desk accessory menu:
-
- --------------
- Amber Screen
- --------------
- Default
- --------------
- Green Screen
- --------------
-
- Go ahead, try it out! The amber and green options convert the colour display
- to green or amber text on a black background. Woo.....just like a PC!
- "Default" returns the desktop to its original colours with one exception,
- the obnoxious bright lime green background has been replaced with a soothing
- ocean blue, lovely!
-
- I hope you get a kick out of Monitor Magic. It is freeware and you use it at
- your own risk. Enjoy!
