I have just started to play around with InterViews 3.1Beta, and have a
question that I hope somebody can help me with.  The "Motif" and
"OpenLook" GUI objects look fine on colour displays, but the shading
algorithm seems to fail on my Monochrome NCD Xterminal.

For example, in ifc, the scroll bars are all but useless because the
shading makes most of the "features" (like the arrow heads in the motif
GUI) invisible.  I have fooled around with explicity setting of fg, bg
and flat to all the possible permutations of white and black, and have
not been able to get fully visible objects.  The -monochrome flag also
does not seem to help matters.

Is this a known problem?  Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Thanks.
