Color scheme for low-color machines

Help & Support
1

I am trialing Opus for use on a remotely controlled server that has 6-bit color for a video processor. Therfore, anyappliction that uses gradients or any but the most basic of color palettes looks terrible. I think the limit is the 256 web safe colors.

Here's a screen shot...

You can see that one of the window title bars is unreadable.

Is there a way to get Opus to just use simple colors?
thanks!

you can change border color in Preferences/Display - Color and Fonts...
and change gradient color for "dest border", "source border" and "off border" :wink:

Thanks Albator

Yes, that fixes the border, but thats not the only place where colors are used. THe preferences control some colors, but not others.

I was looking for more of an applicaiton wide skin or something that just fixed the problem once and for all.

And... I stand corrected, the server uses 8 bit color, not 6 bits.

from your screencapture, i can see:

  • icon color in toolbar : you can modify Highlighting effect in Preferences/Display - Toolbars and choose grayscale
  • and change toolbar style in Preferences/Display - Toolbars, and play with Windows-style highlighting in menus
  • you can turn off icon in Lister Preferences/Lister Display Modes - Details Mode

what's again ?
