[comp.windows.x] -reverse flag on Text widgets

po@cs.utexas.edu (Po Ling Cheung) (01/14/89)

When I invoke xedit with -reverse flag, the text in the 
text widgets are invisible.

Does someone have a similar problem?

I am running it on a VAXstation II/GPX under Ultrix 2.3 and uwm.

Thanks,

This is a know (unresolved) bug in the Athena text widget.

Until this is fixed I suggest you use the following resources instead:

! If I am on a monochrome display then use reverse-video

#ifndef COLOR
      *Foreground:                            white
      *Background:                            black
      *BorderColor:                           white
#endif
