I have a IIx (A/UX and MacOS) on which I have an Apple TPD & TPD 4 bit video card. I recently got a IIfx for a week and just hooked it up in place of my system box and booted off the same external disk. I also used my same video card. The only functional differnce I noteiced was in highlighting of selected items. Both in the finder and in Excel dialogs (like number format selection, but not in general cell selection) instead of being inverse video (white on black) as it was on my IIx, its now black on dark grey. The Monitor Cdev shows greys/16 as always. Switching to black&white of course works, but I like greyscale mode to be able to have a solid grey desktop. The black on grey highlight is just about unreadable. What is going on here? I am running 6.05 everything in both cases (same disk) The iix does not have 32bit QD in roms (as i assume the iifx does) , but it is installed in the system folder. -- internet jrg@apple.com John R.

Well, I have no idea of why this behaves differently, but it *should* be easy to fix. Just go to the "color" item in the control panel. This lets you select the highlight color for editable text. If you can't do this, perhaps the color cdev is missing from your system folder. ||| Boyd Ostroff - Tech Director - Dept of Theatre - SUNY Oswego ||| Sys Admin - "The CallBoard" - (315) 947-6414 - 1200/2400 baud ||| ostroff@oswego.oswego.edu - cboard!ostroff@oswego.oswego.edu
