2129.0. "Color change for HW screens..." by SCCAT::MILLER () Tue Mar 21 1995 22:00

    How does one go about changing the dark green background/black letters
    of the hubwatch screens on the windows version?  This is very hard to
    use on a laptop.  
    
    thanks!

2129.1Is it A or B???SCCAT::MILLERFri Mar 24 1995 13:1711
    Since no one has answered this, I assume that the question is either:
    A)  Really stupid and something I should automatically know; or B) 
    Something that can't be changed.  Since I use Hubwatch to set up hubs
    for a network integration project on a very regular basis (usually on
    the customer new construction site and under sometimes pretty poor
    lighting conditions), this is a serious issue for me.  Black letters on
    a dark green background makes for very difficult reading, even under
    the best of lighting conditions.  Could someone let me know if A or B
    applies?
    
    Thanks!

B.

On the other hand, one thing you get for your extra $$$ with the Motif
versions of HUBwatch is a collection of designer color palettes, tan,
teal, gray, and rose, from which to chose.  Select one to match your
decor, and another to match your mood.


And it's Friday.  *Please* don't set me up with straight lines...  ;-)

2129.3In the future...SCCAT::MILLERMon Mar 27 1995 15:389
    Thank you.  Then, as a request, can the foreground color on those
    screens be changed (in a future version of HW) to either white or light
    yellow?  Since I travel all over the country upgrading a customer's
    offices (and the Alpha laptop has been canned), the OSF/HW/Motif
    solution isn't available to me (workstations are a little heavy to
    carry on planes).
    
    PS - I'll be careful on the straight lines from now on (But it did get
    your attention!).
2129.4Monochrome screens a prob?NETCAD::CARUSOThu Mar 07 1996 22:238
    
    Along the same lines, I'm trying to get Hubwatch to run on a mono LCD
    screen laptop. I'm beginning to suspect that Hubwatch is choking on
    this. So, the question is: Is it possible to run Hubwatch for Windows
    V4.n on a monochrome LCD screen laptop? Are there any magic
    incarnations I can do to my system to fix this (if it is a problem).

2129.5Get thee a HiNote!SLINK::HOODYour bad news bearFri Mar 08 1996 01:458
    Ken,
    
    I think HUBwatch requires a color monitor.  This would be a good time
    to justify a nifty new PowerBook to your manager!
    
    OK, so get *me* the PowerBook (Mac-lover here) and *you* get a HiNote.

2129.6Get a color monitorMSDOA::REEDJohn Reed @CBO = Network ServicesThu Mar 14 1996 13:256
    I still use an old DEC 425sl, with a monochrome LCD.  It works fine,
    except for the LAN Interconnect screen.  That is impossible to see on
    Black and silver.
