Sounds like you're running in a low bit-depth. Basically, if your video card or the video mode you're using doesn't support many colours, X will make the program that's focused look as best as it can, while sacrificing the programs which arn't in focus. If /etc/X11/X points to XFree86 (check by doing 'ls -l /etc/X11/X'), then you'll want to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 . In the "Screen" section, set "DefaultDepth" to 24. If /etc/X11/X points to something else(like XF86_<something, probably SVGA>), then you'll want to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config . I'm not 100% positive on what the option name will be, but it'll probably be "DefaultDepth" too. Enjoy. :) -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
