Pop up Window Properties
Hi,

I have been tasked to migrate a test package my company developed from a Solaris 4 O/S to a new machine running Solaris 8. After many tweaks to paths etc we finally got it running but we have one problem which I am unable to solve.

While the application is running a user selected menu option will open a pop up window which lists every ATP installed on the machine. When the user selects an ATP from the list, the background for that ATP turns black but the writing stays black. Meaning the operator can not see what they have selected.

When the application runs on the Solaris 4 machine the text colour of a selected item turns white which allows the operator to read what item they have selected.

Does anyone know what causes this to happen? Someone mentioned it may be a Motif issue? any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Justin Pyfrom
