[comp.sys.mac] Is white on black active window display possible?

dennis@all41.csc.ti.com (03/04/89)

     Is there a method of reversing the window display (white on black instead 
of black)?  We have several folks with sensitive eyes that tire easily with the 
constant white background and want to reverse the display.  Kolor only affects 
the scroll bars, dialog boxes, menus, window borders, etc. and not the actual 
active window displays.

Thanks,

John Dennis

i was checking thru some old disks and i came over this init named
reversescreen... well, i threw it into the (now giant) system folder, and reboo
ted, it turned all the white -> black, and the black -> white. but thre was one
thing that really bothered me. the cursor flashes alot when moved, changes from
black to white and back (often). if anyone wants me to post it, just tell me
where to send a copy (for comp.binaries.mac). maybe you can deal with the
flashing cursor and have the nice black screen.

I know of no utility that does it for active windows. However you can reverse 
full screen with pd domain program(or init) of the same name.
Expect compatibility problems with things like SteppingOut.

Try the CloseView cdev that comes with System 6.0.2.
