So what does then textcolor() function do? >Will it set all existing text to the passed color? It's even worse than that, since in Graphics mode zero, the background and text are both controlled by the same color register. Another register controls the luminance value, IIRC. So textcolor sets the color of the text AND the background! Doing a textcolor(COLOR_RED) on the atari doesn't give you red text, at least it didn't for me. ¯ Shawn Jefferson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
