Question on X11:

Inconsistent (to me) results on border colors:

I an having trouble getting white on black text with a white border.

When I ask for black on white text, I get the black border.    


47      mywindow = XCreateSimpleWindow( mydisplay,
48          DefaultRootWindow( mydisplay),
49          myhint.x, myhint.y, myhint.width, myhint.height,
50          50, myforeground, mybackground);
51
52      XSetStandardProperties( mydisplay, mywindow, hello, hello,
53          None, argv, argc, &myhint);
54
55      mygc = XCreateGC( mydisplay, mywindow, 0, 0);
56      XSetBackground( mydisplay, mygc, mybackground);
57      XSetForeground( mydisplay, mygc, myforeground);
58      XSetWindowBorder( mydisplay, mywindow, myforeground);

Direct mail is fine.  I will post a solution to the net to prevent
multiple solutions clogging the network.

Help is appreciated.
