I've run accross an interesting problem that I hope someone can shed some light on. Using the scheme palette I can successfully change the color of both the Icon Text and Shadow Text, but NOT the font (at least not in the way I want to). Specifically, I want both the Icon Text and Shadow Text to be black (easy enough to do), but I want the Shadow text to be Italicized (like a Mac alias). I find that it is easier to destinquish between objects and shadows of objects that way. HOWEVER, when I select Shadow Text in the scheme palette, then Font... and change the font to Italic, the font for ALL objects changes. I don't understand why OS/2 would keep color info seperate, but not font info, especially when the scheme provodes the Font option for both Icon Text and Shadow Text. Is it possible somehow to this or not? ------------------------------------------------------------ Darryl Friesen | Department of Computing Services friesenda@sask.usask.ca | University of Saskatchewan ------------------------------------------------------------
