Sorry if these have already been discussed. Hardware configuration: Mac II with a color monitor. Software is multifinder; I think the system is 4.2 and the finder is 6.0. The setting in the monitors cdev is the highest (16 I think). (1) Sometimes when the machine is booted the background printing program comes up first but there isn't anything listed in the queue. Clicking on its icon in the top right of the screen brings up the finder and everything seems ok. Is this something that I should be worried about? (2) When I use the Kolor cdev or double click on one of the color boxes for fiddling with the desktop background pattern I get a color wheel (which I think may be called the "color picker") and I can fiddle around with the colors. While fiddling with this color wheel I get the impression that I can get lots of interesting colors. When I click on the OK box the color that I have picked doesn't "take". With Kolor It seems to only use the nearest "primary" colors (the center of the color at the outside of the wheel). With the background fiddler it switches to the nearest color of what seems to be some built-in fixed colors. What makes it strange is that while fiddling with the color wheel I can get lots of interesting colors in the sample box in the top left. -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@weyl.berkeley.edu ucbvax!weyl!rusty
