[comp.sys.sun] Inverse Video for Openwin

metal@sirius.ctr.columbia.edu (Nikos Aneroussis) (06/05/91)

We have installed several months ago the new openwindows software.
However, unlikely with the old suntools, it does not support
inverse video. For example with "sunview -i" you have white letters
on black background. There is not a similar option for openwindows.
What you can actually do is invoke the tools with the options:
shelltool -fg white -bg black
However, this works only on colour systems. 
It does not work for the bwtwo video board, which is the only
one that we have over here. 
Any suggestions? Please reply directly to
metal@sirius.ctr.columbia.edu
I would like to see the inverse video feature in the next
version of openwindows.
