Message-ID: Date: 23 Mar 88 03:57:15 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 26 I am running Parc Place Smalltalk-80 VI 2.2 VM 1.1 on a Sun 3/110 with a 14-inch color display. This is a bad combination - there is so little sharpness and contrast that my eyes hurt after a few minutes. I would like to change most of the text displays so they default to reverse-video, since this gives my eyes quite a bit of relief. I did this for Suntools, and it's much better (though still not very nice). Is there a clean way to get the text views in workspaces, browsers, and other useful objects to default to reverse video all the time? I thougt I had found the answer in TextConstants associationAt: DefaultRule, since it looked to me like this specified the default rule for displaying text on Forms. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work. Any recommendations? Thanks, Ed -- uucp: ...{harvard, ut-sally, sri-iu, ihnp4!packard}!topaz!caip!segall arpa: segall@CAIP.RUTGERS.EDU
