My laptop has a slide switch for "normal" or "reverse" video, and the default Windows color scheme looks terrible under "normal", great under "reverse". I'd like to get the same effect in software, by creating my own color scheme, so that when I run dumb applications, the colors continue to look right. I tried inverting the values corresponding to the default colors, but couldn't get things like menu item highlighting to look right. Has anyone done this? Professor Eric C.

There are 6 unlisted color options: ButtonFace ButtonShadow ButtonText GrayText Hilight HilightText These you have to change in the win.ini file with eg notepad. All this can also be found in the winini2.txt file in you windows directory. Note that you have to restart windows for the changes to take effect.
