I think "made it go away" is a better description. I got desperate and changed the resolution in XF86Config to be 800x600 and all the areas that were that annoying blue (like the url bar in konqueror) were magically white like the gods meant them to be. I tinkered around a bit and have no idea what the problem was. I basically set the XF86Config settings to the exact same thing as before (1024x768, 16 bit color) but also checked the little 800x600 res box too. It jumped right up at 1024x768 and no more blue! Weird. I'd be more curious if there weren't 1000 other things demanding my attention. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with science. --Carl Sagan ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
