- COLORS IN LOTUS 123 / SYMPHONY
-
- PC-MAGAZINE BILL VERA VOL 5 NUMBER 8
-
-
- The key to changing the dull color combination of Lotus 123
- V2.0 & 2.01 as well as Symphony V1.1 and 1.2 is to patch the
- driver set for different color combinations.
-
- NOTE - Make a copy of your original driver set before
- attempting this patch!!!!!!
-
- With Lotus the file to patch is 123.SET and with Symphony
- the file is LOTUS.SET. We are looking for this combination
- of HEX bytes: 07 30 0A 3F
-
- To do this follow these steps:
-
- DEBUG 123.SET
- S 100,AAAA 07 30 0A 3F ; One or two addresses will be
- returned. With 123 V2.01 they
- will be:
- XXXX:2F11
- XXXX:3F7E
-
- Then you just (E)dit the locations and change as needed.
-
- 07 is the TEXT COLOR
- 30 is the CURSOR and BORDER COLOR
- 0A is the HELP SUBJECTS COLOR
- 3F is the HELP CURSOR COLOR
-
- 0 = BLACK 8 = GREY
- 1 = BLUE 9 = DARK BLUE
- 2 = GREEN A = BRIGHT GREEN
- 3 = CYAN B = BRIGHT BLUE
- 4 = RED C = BRIGHT RED
- 5 = MAGENTA D = BRIGHT MAGENTA
- 6 = BROWN E = YELLOW
- 7 = WHITE F = BRIGHT WHITE
-
- Play around with these combinations to find one that you
- like. Some combinations will produce blinking characters
- and other bizarre behavior. Just remember to copy the
- original .SET program before trying this.
