In the new _Amiga User Interface Style Guide_ in the chapter on menus
under the heading "Color," it says that menus should be in dark text on
a light background, and then goes on to say that the examples in the
book are *not* this way because the version of Release 2 used for the
examples was not capable of doing it.

Is this actually correct?  All previous versions of the system used
light text on a dark background (like the examples in the book,) and
2.03 version running on the 3000 at the local dealer is the same.  Is
this changed in 2.04?  Is the new style guide wrong?

Confused,
