Border in SCREEN 13

Cyd #1 / 4	Border in SCREEN 13 In SCREEN 13, I noticed that when I change the value for color attribute 0, it changes the color of the border around the screen. Is this standard in all video cards? Cyd

Quxx #3 / 4	Border in SCREEN 13 I think the reason for this is in the colour memory, If the border was always black then you could have 257 colours. It probably just ties the border colour to 0 because there is simply no where else to put it. (without a 9 bit data type which I don't see happening). If changing the colour attrib of 0 didn't change the border colour, I don't see any other way of doing it. -- Quxx /+ACo- I was assimilated by the Borg, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt. +ACo-/

It depends on the graphics card, because there was no fixed way of doing the border defined for the the new screenmodes introduced in the VGA card. My Matrox Millenium does it when you set pallete entry &Hex00, but the card in my old 286 doesn't the card in my 486 sl Laptop does but the card in my 486 DX/2 Laptop doesn't it just depends on the graphics card you have.
