1554.0. "black on black map with remote window to Ultrix" by RDMVS1::VDDOELEN (Hello Holland, Where ever you are....) Thu Sep 26 1991 12:37

    Hello,
    
    A customer has the following (strange) problem :
    
    - Sitting at a DECstation 5000-200 with Ultrix 4.2 and set a remote
      window from a VAX (9000) which is running DECMcc version 1.1
    
    - Monitor is B/W 
    
    
    => The map is displayed black on black (navigation window is black on
       white)
    
    
    - Whatever you put in the mcc_resource.dat it make no difference 
    
    Everything is working allright on a color screen (from the same 9000).
    
    Any ideas ???
    
    
    P.s. If (with the remote window) you modify the mcc_resource.dat it is
    actually modified in the file, so I think that MCC really uses this
    file. But any changes in backgrounds, icons etc. doesn't solve the
    problem...

    You realize that after you change the resource file, you have to
    restart the PM.
    
    Can you post your resource file?

1554.2Works on a B/W VAX station, but not on Ultrix...RDMVS1::VDDOELENHello Holland, Where ever you are....Mon Sep 30 1991 06:2342
    
    Yes, I know that I have to restart the PM.
    
    The strange part is that it all works (with remote window) on a B/W
    VAX-station...
