Hi all,

I have been enjoying my new MAC IIcx, with color monitor, for about two months
now and am just loving it.  One thing that does bother me however is the way
the mac displays text.  Every program displays those tiny black characters on
a WHITE background.  I find this extremely tiring on the eyes after even a
short while.  My question is, are their any programs out there in shareware/
freeware land that will allow me to display text in inverse. i.e. white text
on a black background?  Or better yet to allow the user to select 
text/background color.  I do have Kolor, but it doesn't seem to allow this.
I have also tried ReverseScreenInit which changes the screen black, but doesn't
affect the color of the text.  So the text stays black... big help. Black on
black.  Any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  E-mail response preferred, and if 
there is enough interest, I will summarize for the net.  Thanks!
