Changing colours in CLI?

Dreedo · 08 January 2011, 23:57

Is it possible to change the colours shown on the screen by entering something into the CLI, instead of going into the preferences on the WB disk.

There's a small tool called 'SetPrefs' which let's you set a different preferences set. Usage is simply 'setprefs <name of your preferences file>'. Have a look at the attachment.

There are plenty of ways to do it. Here's one.

Every Preference program on the Workbench disk can be started from CLI. The parameters are:

FROM,EDIT/S,USE/S,SAVE/S

sys:prefs/palette mycolors.prefs use

would do just that. You have to prep a prefs file first using the program beforehand and save it by selecting Save as form the Project menu.

Is that what you're looking for?
