Apple iigs puts out different color text

Submitted by austinramsay on February 8, 2008 - 12:14am. Apple II

When I run any software with color in it, I am using a green monochrome monitor, but I plug the hookup into the TV and the text is many colors, like every letter is a different color, and the apple is differ colors too. Is there a setting I have to change for color monitors? Also, when using GS/OS 6.0.1, while I look at the time, every time another second adds on to the clock I can here something inside the IIgs. Even when the clock is just sitting there waiting to add a second into it. Can I make the time dissapear and stop making it keep track of time? Or can I make that noise stop? Thanks!

Austin,
I'm not sure about the colors, but if you want to get rid of the time display go into the system folder and then into the Desk Accessories, I think it is, and remove the Chronos II NDA.

Reboot the system after that and you won't have the time display any longer.

Not sure if what you are talk

Not sure if what you are talking about is the Hres color frining, when you use a TV/monitor verus the IIgs color monitor. This is normal for white text, But their is a setting I believe if you want to set it to black and white. With a TV/Monitor you can not change the color of the text to any color like you can when you use a IIgs monitor. White on white was always fun, as was black on black. Sort of what the Black Out virus did.

As for the color apple Mr Apple NDA or Fancy Apple? That cycles the colors the apple.

Older apples did not have solid one color apple for their logo as you can tell by looking at any hardware made by Apple at that time.
