I have a customer who says one of his login screens is bright yellow.
Obviously somebody's set it to this - he doesn't know who or how.
Is it possible to set the colour of the login screen. I've looked
in this conference and DECWINDOWS_OLD, but not found a specific
answer. (This is VMS DECwindows.)
I've also looked through the DECW$*.dat files in SYS$LIBRARY and
still had no joy. Can you help?
Is it possible? and if so how?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This may seem obvious, but check the RGB connections on the back of the
monitor.

Also, how much customization is he (or anyone else on the workstation) doing? I have a VS2000, and have started customizing via the .dat files. I haven't finished tracking down exactly which change is the culprit, but somewhere along the line, my login screen inherited my personal colormap. Comes up with default colors first time after the boot, but after I've logged in, it has the background colors from whichever process has most recently logged in. (VMS 5.2, DW 1.0) Kevin | |||||

RE: .0 I agree with .1, I have seen this before. Chances are that the RED and BLUE cable is backwards. Swapping them should fix your problem. -=> Jim <=- | |||||
