[aplusdev] Problems with screen management.

[Vladmir N. Kutinsky]

Hello Brian,

Earlier today I checked the 7th release and found out that the tree is displayed with no problems. I'm sorry about "dropping shadow" on A+ :-)). I was too tired probably.

As far as the problems with COLORS are concerned I made correction John Mizel told me to do in the s.+  file and it works fine now.

Thank you,
Vladimir

If we "$def s.COLOR_INFORMATION" we see it calls s.color_information{} with two constants, s.COLOR_FILE and s.COLOR_FILE1. Those are set to "/usr/local/X11/lib/rgb.txt" and /usr/local/X11R5/lib/rgb.txt". Neither of these are likely to be correct on your system where the file is probably "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt".

Copy "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt" to someplace such as "/usr/local/aplus-fsf-4.18/lib/rgb.txt", delete the first line (the RCS comment) then after you "$load s" and before you use s.COLOR_NAMES, assign
