The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

The Productivity Pack incorrectly states that you can change the color of dimmed text by entering the line 

   DimmedText=red green blue
in the [COLORS] section of the WIN.INI file.

MORE INFORMATION

To locate the instructions in the Productivity Pack, select:

  1. Working Smarter

  2. A Personal Touch

  3. Adding color to buttons and dimmed text

The suggested line "DimmedText=red green blue" is not valid.

However, the instruction "GrayText=red green blue" will produce the desired change in color.
