Description surak 2005-04-22 11:58:01 UTC
Back in the end of the eighties, os/2 was 'THE future' of computing. It never
made it, of course.

It has an interesting feature, altough: for some people, changing color schemes
to inversed-high contrast was too much, and none of the pre-defined schemes (say
themes) would please them. You could easily change a windows' element color, by
just dragging this color from a color pallete into the desired element. (the
object-orientation mantra, quite common at ibm those times).

This could be done globally - say dragging into a sample window - or even
individually - drag a color into evolution compose window textbox, and only this
would be changed.

Why I'm asking this? I can see well, but have sensible eyes (I think the term
photofobia is the correct one in english). The inversed themes are awful, but
the common ones are too clear. I don't want to create a whole theme only for
eliminating the white text fields. Changing the color, as it's possible in
windows since 3.1 and os/2 since 2.0 (as far as I can remember), would suffice.
