Re: Setting a permanent foreground/background color combination

I don't think that it is possible to change the screen colours without
also changing the colours which will print out. If you change the
back-ground colour a colour printer will print that colour onto white
paper.

In addition to your own problem, changing the screen colour would be
useful when using coloured paper to get some idea of what the effect
would be. But I do not think that this can be done other than by changing
the back-ground back to white before printing.

The problem is that I need light text colors, because I prefer a dark background (eye problems), and if I set the text foreground color as white or yellow, the people I send the document to will have problems in reading the text. Of course, I could change the text color every time before sending the file, but this is a nuisance.
