The Graham Utilities for OS/2 - Version 2

Colour Options

Almost all of the colours used through out all of the programs are user definable. The Colour Options allows you to set these colours and colour options.

As each option is chosen, a sample may be provided to show you the effect of the current values.

High Intensity Background

The high intensity background attribute effects the upper 128 attributes of the 256 available attributes. It this is set the upper 128 attributes have a bright background. If this is not set the upper 128 attributes are interpreted as blinking attributes. The system default is FALSE - the upper 128 attributes are blinking attributes.

Note : In a VIO Window all blinking attributes will be displayed as high intensity. You may need to use a Full Screen session to see the full effect.
