What is the right and/or easiest way to switch between screen modes using the toolbox etc? I'm writing a little something where I want to alternate between 640 mode for dialogues and 320 mode for display of full-screen color graphics. The only obvious thing I can find where one tells all the tools what mode you're in is in QD startup -- does that mean in order to switch modes one has to shut down Quick Draw and then start it up again in the new mode? (I know there are SCB bytes buried in GrafPorts and other places, but fiddling with those didn't seem to work; neither does the refresh window or some such command.) As it is, I ran into a problem in that the toolbox (menu manager I think, sinc eit only shows up on the lines where the menu was) puts some of the lines in fill mode when I want them in non-fill so I can use all 16 colors. (That was easy to fix by resetting all the SCB's to 0). TMPLee@dockmaster.ncsc.mil
