In my case, it's not really a screen extenxtion situation. I'm either
in the office, in which case I dock the machine and use the big
screen, or I am away from my desk, in which case I rely on the native
low-contrast screen.
It looks like writing a function is the way to go. It will consist of
a few highlighting commands. Thanks.
