Hello everyone,

i just started using SheepShaver, it seems to work just fine except for the color display. does anyone has any idea how i could make it a bit more neutral?

Thank you.

That's not a SheepShaver issue; that's an SDL issue; there's another thread on here where OS X in qemu on OS X had the same issue (it's an endianness thing).

Hi,

Did you compile your own build? What options did you use with ./configure?

Best,

Hi,

I thought that was very old info on my site ;-)
It seems this color problem only arises for 16 and 32 bit color. Did you try to set 256 or "thousands" of colors in Mac OS?
If you install the SDL 1.2.5 development libraries, you can use
--enable-sdl-video and --enable-sdl-audio to get an SDL based build.

Best,

Grey? The default desktop pattern is blue and in Appearance control panel you should be able to choose different desktop patterns in various colors. Did you set the Monitors control panel to display color?
