Choosing color of text. background. and border

After experimenting with different colors or shades, you may decide you liked the original colors best. To restore the preset colors, use Left Arrow or Right Arrow to change the Standard Colors option to Yes. If you decide you don't like the standard colors after all, you can change them by using the Text, Background, and Border options. You can't change the Standard Colors setting to No as a way of restoring your previous settings.

If the color contrast between text and background is such that you can't read the text to change the settings to something more readable, first try adjusting the contrast knob on your monitor. If that doesn't help. you can restore the original Control Panel settings by pressing Option-Control-Reset and then pressing 2.

If you don't want a border, set the background and border to the same color or shade of gray.

The hertz setting indicates the frequency of signals sent to the monitor. Different countries have different standards; the U.S. standard is 60. This is not a matter of preference. If you need to change the hertz setting—if the image on your screen is rolling or out of alignment—press Option-Control-Reset. Then press 2. This restores the standard Control Panel settings for the U.S., including the correct hertz setting.
