The rainbow color effect can also be caused by RGB subpixel hinting, which is an Xft option. Check the output of xrdb -query | grep Xft for the Xft.rgba setting. You can change the Xft settings by doing things like: echo "Xft.rgba: none" | xrdb -merge You have to restart the affected application(s) to see the effect of the changed settings. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
