Re: gEDA-user: Still compiling 1.5.2

[KURT PETERS <peterskurt@xxxxxxx>]

Peter,
  You would not BELIEVE how ungodly ugly that "(display-color-map '((background
 "#ffffff")))" in my gschemrc
makes gschem's screen.  It's the grid lines that are doing it in, but the text 
is unreadable.
and, frankly, the screen is unreadable.  I'm using 1.5.2 now.
  I did notice that now there's a "view" light color scheme included as a menu 
option that looks fine though.  Of course, it would be nice if it could save th
e configuration when you change it.
Regards,
Kurt

I personally think the new way of configuring colours is much clearer and more
intuitive than the old way. But then I wrote it, so I'm biased. :P
You can change the background colours in your personal configuration file as
follows:
; To set the display background to white
(display-color-map '((background "#ffffff")))
; To set the print background to BRIGHT RED ;)
(print-color-map '((background "#ff0000")))
Or you can make your own colour configuration file in the same format as e.g.
${prefix}/share/gEDA/gschem-colormap-lightbg, put it somewhere in your home
directory, and load it from your personal gschem configuration file.
                                    Peter
