[comp.windows.x] "colors" on monochrome?

grady@postgres (Steven Grady) (03/26/88)

Has anyone developed an X server (a modified Xnest, perhaps)
for X10 or X11 that allows "colors" to be displayed on monochrome
displays, in the form of patterns?  For instance, it might allow
up to 16 'color cells', with an internal color map from pixel to
pattern.. GetHardwareColor() could perhaps return an approximation
based on how many bits were on in the color..
