Message-ID: Date: 12 Feb 90 17:34:51 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 25 When a window is drawn (a la default WDEF) what says that the background color should be white? Is there a way to change this so that the white pattern is replaced by my pattern? I tried changing the white pattern in the SysPatList in the system folder. The windows were still white- the system doesn't look there. I don't want to write a WDEF because I'm just changing the background pattern and I'd like to be able to do it without rebooting. I know about BackPat but I want to change the background on ALL of the windows - present and future (until a system reboot). Also, this is to be part of a DA which is working perfectly except for the fact that it doesn't do what it's supposed to do - yet.
