My normal environment is a color SPARC. My Console and Typescript windows have dim writing in them, like their intensity is around 0.6. Is this a new feature in PL7 since PL4? PL4 handled it fine - it knew I was running a monochrome monitor and ignored the color settings in my preferences file. Was something overlooked? Do I have to make my preferences file more complicated to configure it one way for monochrome and one way for color? And if so, what's the equivalent of "M?" or "S?" for color, "C?"? - Anthony
