My question could have been clearer, I meant that the relative contrast between fore and background colours using Linux Colours is OK so I can see grey on black fine, and the difference between a colour and the same one bold is also obvious. I've used some cheaper crts that were just gross, and in the past found that the quality of LCDs were highly variable and mostly unrelated to price (this seems to have settled now though). You seem to know what to do in most cases and how to achieve it, so I don't know if my favourite colour schemes will help you much. However, have you considered an eye test for colour sensitivity? A large number of males are under-sensitive to certain colours and it's apparently hard for the person to detect it in themselves. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
