Xdefault for LSW menu text

danmc

For some reason the menu choices in my IC51 LSW window are super faint and hard to read but all of the other menus (Virtoso Layout Editing, CIW, etc) are black and easy to read.  I looked through the list of app-defaults in the manual and nothing is jumping out to me as "oh yeah, that one" for where to fix this.

 

Anyone know which resource controls the LSW menu text color?

 

Thanks

-Dan

    Dan,

    As far as I can see, the fonts are just the "label" font (so whatever hiSetFont("label" "...") is set as, and the colors are the standard icfb foreground, background, topshadow, bottomshadow, bordercolor, settings that are used everywhere in icfb. Not sure what the Xdefaults are for these (actually, a quick peek at the manual shows them listed in the same place as Opus.foreground if you search for that), but I don't think there's anything specific to the LSW. This was from taking a quick look at the source code to see if I could spot anything unusual.

    Maybe you could do a webex with customer support to see if somebody can figure it out having seen it...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
