Some people like the nice crisp text of true console mode. Many can't |
| 2 |
stand surfing with a textmode browser. Count me in both groups. So I |
| 3 |
switch back and forth a lot. This email is being composed in a true |
| 4 |
text console (80 columns x 48 rows; but that's another story). I flip |
| 5 |
to X for surfing/spreadsheets/etc. When I do, I find that the colours |
| 6 |
on my current machine's display are corrupted. Clicking on a window |
| 7 |
will reset most of the colours, but the window title-bar still looks |
| 8 |
like colour confetti. |
