Right so. Startled me the first time it happened. A ha ha. Good one. Very shortly, though, it got old very quickly. I forgot to disable scripting after the reinstall. Fucker won't catch me off guard this ti....\did you guys hear that just now? It almost sounded lik HIJNON*)^R &^*(J)KO_)P
















you're next.

Access 2007 respects high contrast mode on Windows 7. I suspect that the issue is either a regression on the part of Access 2010, or a fault with the way it interacts with Windows XP, at least as far as color scheme goes. Perhaps see if there's an option in Access's configurations to provide it's own high-contrast color scheme?

THEREFORE: This is an issue with Windows XP, an issue with Office 2010, or (most likely) an issue with the way in which those two systems interact. Unfortunately, not having valid licenses to Windows XP OR Office 2010, I cannot know for sure which is the case.




EDIT: PARTIAL WORKAROUND FOR INCORRECT COLORS:<br>I am led to believe that the autohotkey script mentioned at this link will invert the colors. While not a solution that I would rely on for daily usage - using it drives up CPU usage a whole lot and it doesn't work right for me on Windows 7 - it does work though. On the off chance you don't feel like installing autohotkey to run the script/are in a mood to trust strangers: I have compiled an executable version, available at this link. Use F9 to toggle screen inverting on or off and ESC to quit out of the script. This will invert all on-screen colors, so if the application menus are already correctly colored for you, you may have to F9 toggle the script off before interacting with menus.




FONT SIZE: This method should work, but at the expense of super-sizing several other things on screen.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING METHOD CHANGES THE DPI THAT WINDOWS USES FOR SCALING. IT AFFECTS NOT JUST TEXT, BUT THE SIZE OF ALL ON-SCREEN OBJECTS. IT WILL INCREASE THE FONT SIZES OF TEXT IN ALL WINDOWS, AS WELL AS THE SIZE OF ALL YOUR ICONS AND MOUSE CURSOR

Open Display Properties (Right click the destkop, select properties), Click on the Settings tab (right-most tab), Click on the Advanced button (bottom right of the properties window, just above "Apply" button). This opens up a new window.

In this window, on the General tab (usually the default, leftmost tab), there is a dropbox labeled DPI setting. From here, you can select Normal Size (96), large Size (120), or Custom setting. I would suggest choosing Custom, as it gives you a ruler you can click and drag on to fine-tune scaling, along with a preview of what text will look like at that scaling. Choose a scaling, click OK, click OK, click OK, and allow it to log you off and/or reboot your computer.

I believe that he was just giving you an example of how he would have the sheet layout. IE: would that be an acceptable level of spacing between items on the sheet, etc? At least, that's how I took it based on the rest of the comments.

The grayscale versions of the levels give me an almost gameboy-like vibe. Very good, keep it up!

I know this is primarily an art hack, but perhaps once you get the pallets and level layouts squared away, consider also expanding the idea: he's not stealing just the colors, but the very music of life! (etc.) The ideas aren't entirely dissimilar, and it'd give the opportunity to have low-def mixes of the musics or something.

I've got Xubuntu installed on this netbook right here. Everything looks and works about right (as far as I can tell), aside from the fact that the trackpad stopped working after a day or two. But I'm pretty sure that's because I might have knocked the cable for it loose when I was trying to get at the hard drive to replace it. I haven't had time to go in and double check that work. The point is, it did work when I was setting it up so that's cool.

You could also just try plain Ubuntu. Or Kubuntu. Or, plain old debian, but Ubuntu and it's derivatives make it easier to install drivers and codecs so I'd go with that.
