[comp.sys.amiga] Colors advice for interlace mode requested.

sean@ms.uky.edu (Sean Casey) (08/08/87)

I've got a moderate sized program to write on the Amiga, and I'd like
to use interlace mode while developing it.  Can would anyone mind telling
me what color settings they use?  Is it hopeless?

BTW, anyone have a font that looks nicer than the default cli font?

I run my Amiga with interlace workbench all the time. I find the flicker to
be minimal and not at all disturbing with the workbench colors set as below
(in the order that they appear in Preferences, as RGB)

	0 0 0 	8 8 8	5 5 5	12 0 0

It sure is nice to have 2 cli's open, each of which is as big as the 
"standard" sized one! Just remember, it does take more memory to run with
the interlace option on. Some stuff that barely ran before may not fit now.

For fonts I use FastFonts by Charlie Heath, with one of the fonts he supplies.
A good product, especially since it comes with FunKeys (simple function key
definition package, that lets you define 2 keys, the others open CLI's and
cycle you through windows/screens).
