[DMDX] Re: White background and grey text best combo? Hi, Jonathan. I am using a laptop with a big screen - that may be what does it.  Is  black on white the default for psych experiments?  I am doing my first one  and feel myself getting "hypnotized" after a while. Thank you very much. Eugen Tarnow "Jonathan C.

The default is actually black text on a white background, perhaps your  item file has changed the default colors?                                                /"\\  -jonathan (j.c.f.)                            \\ /                                                 X      ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL  / \\    RHADOMANCER, n.
