I fear you can't change that behaviour easily because it is hardcoded in the Fl_Text_Display class.
You can only try to change the library: Have a look at the fl_contrast() statements in Fl_Text_Display.cxx. Change e.g. foreground = fl_contrast(styleRec->color, background); to foreground = styleRec->color; and so on. chris > > Hi.
