Keywords: Flicker, White on black Message-ID: <2075@aecom.YU.EDU> Date: 11 Dec 88 23:33:37 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Albert Einstein Coll. of Med., NY Lines: 15 Ignoring for the fact any design details, let me explain that I am one of approximately 3% of the population who can see the flicker on a normal display. This is not a big deal with white lettering on a black background (or any color lettering on a black background), but it is mind-bogglingly annoying whenever the background is light. Does anyone know of anyway to adjust the Mac to get white letters on a black background (I can get the black desktop, but you can't do much with black letters on a black desktop) Otherwise, working on the Mac, which has to be done, is plainly speaking, and for no other reason, sheer hell. -- Craig Werner (future MD/PhD, 4 years down, 3 to go) werner@aecom.YU.EDU -- Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1935-14E Eastchester Rd., Bronx NY 10461, 212-931-2517) "...if that's the hand you use, well, nevermind..."
