You could use the `reverseVideo' X resource, e.g. by putting the following line into your ~/.Xdefaults file: xdvi.reverseVideo: true Run `xrdb ~/.Xdefaults' to activate this setting. > Otherwise the links in helpindex.html are proving less than > useful. Hmm, could you be more explicit on that? Are the .dvi files somehow displayed wrongly? How do they look like? Do they look OK when you invoke xdvi from the command-line? Please see the hints about tracing such problems and reporting bugs on: http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/#bugs > Ideally one ought to have a key-board (run time) switch in > xdvi which would toggle this mode. >From a quick look at the code it seems to me that this wouldn't be easy to do, since the background/foreground information needs to be known at startup time, before any widgets are constructed, to determine the pixel values used for the drawing widget, for anti-aliasing etc. -- Stefan Ulrich ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) +49-89 23 88 86 65 (office) +49-89 48 95 28 58 (home)
