I believe you can change most of these things using prefs.tcl (the main
preferences database). The problem is, though, that I don't recall adding
preferences for things like generic window background colors... You may have
to dig through srctextwin.itb, console.itb, variables.tcl, etc and find all
the Tk widgets that are created and set their background color.

Thanks for your help. I found some places to change and brougth the settings
to the prefs.tcl. Maybe I can do the setting and provide it for the source
tree.
However, thanks for the help.

How to change the colors for visually impaired users

[Thies, Reinhard]

Hello,
I am working with Insigth under Cygwin. An Altera installation of the NIOS
development environment. I am visually impaired and therefore I always need
black background with white foreground color. It looks that I can not change
these setting in a menu therefore I tried already some Tcl/Tk statements in
the tcl files but without any success, the background color of the source
window is still white.

Can someone help me, and tell me how to change these color settings ?

Thanks
Reinhard
