Glad to see you confirm (again) what a bunch of us have known for a long
time. Going to XyWrite 4.017 was a really great move, particularly over the
earlier versions, like Xy 3, and even Xy 2.

I find it odd how some lament the passing of XyWrite from the open market
and have not taken advantage of its power in the more recent versions.

Hi, all.

I've gotten Xy4 up and going with most of the customization I had put
into Xy3, and then some. I have to say, I am impressed. There are a lot
of features in this upgrade that make it very appealing.

I heard recently that the color scheme which is easiest on the eyes, for
on-screen viewing, is cyan text on a black background. So I decided to
give it a try, and have been very pleased with the results. I've attached
my modified settings.dfl file for any who are interested in giving it a
try. After the initial adjustment (approximately 30 seconds), the screen
becomes VERY pleasant to work with (for me, at least). In the file I've
labeled each of the text modes with a comment containing an example of
how that mode displays, which makes tinkering with colors easy.

To give it a try, just save the file to disk and, in Xy4, type "load
cyantext.dfl", assuming it is in either the current directory or your
PATH. You can switch back by typing "load settings.dfl".

If you want to make this color scheme permanent, then just rename your
current settings.dfl to settings.old, and copy cyantext.dfl to
settings.dfl. Then, when you start Xy4, you'll automatically get the new
color scheme.
