I have two question about OpenLook / XView, I'm running X11R4 with the olwm and the shelltool that comes with XView 1. how do I get a shelltool to be in reverse video ?? 2. do I really have to mark text with the mouse then copy and then paste?? this seems like a extra step that's not in sunview or X11.

Xview tools accept most of the arguements you could use with Sunview tools, including the -Wb (background) and -Wf (foreground) options, so the following will give you inverse: shelltool -Wb 0 0 0 -Wf 255 255 255 You can make this the default for all your windows by putting the following two lines in your .Xdefaults file: Window.Color.Background: 0 0 0 Window.Color.Foreground: 255 255 255 Warning: Some tools may not handle inverse particularly well. For these I've discovered that making the background a dark gray (say, 150 rather than 255) and keeping the foreground black works pretty well. ********************************************************* Laura Lemay lemay@sun.com Redhead.
