Msg: Re: vDosXy color modes

Then try

COLORS = #edf1f3 #0000aa #000000 #00aaaa #aa0000 #aa00aa #aa5500 #aaaaaa #555555 #5555ff #55ff55 #55ffff #ff5555 #ff55ff #ffff55 #ffffff

with MD NM=2. This and the previous setting work in xy3, but I can't speak to xy4 or notabene.

John,

I tried this in the mini-Xy4 Carl has distributed, but I get black text
on white background. NB and Xy have a bit different settings files. I am
attaching what I have in NB3 default.set (custom colors without
config.txt effect). NB has (out-of-the-box) a table showing the color
differences, whereas I find that the corresponding Xy settings.dfl is a
bit terse. I have used black on grey a long time, it was less glary on
CRTs and it is still my favorite.

Best regards,
