MAX+PLUS II Getting Started
288 Altera Corporation
1 If the appearance of colors in MAX+PLUS II is not satisfactory,
and editing the win.ini file does not help the problem, you should
select the Windows Òlook and feel,Ó either by setting the MWLOOK
environment variable described on page 290, or with the Change
Look system menu.
Using the mwcolormanager Utility
Altera provides the mwcolormanager utility to correct color flickering
problems that might occur when you change to MAX+PLUS II from another
application window. If another application changes the system colors after
you have started MAX+PLUS II, the colors of MAX+PLUS II window
elements may change when you return to MAX+PLUS II.
To correct color flickering problems when changing applications, insert the
following line as the first command in your .xinitrc file:
mwcolormanager [-display <display>][-extra <nn>]9
The -display <display> option allows you to specify a different display
than the default listed in the DISPLAY variable in your .cshrc (C shell users)
or .profile (Bourne or Korn shell users) file.
The -extra <nn> option allows you to specify a number nn of colors in
addition to the 20 colors that are allocated by default. Because MAX+PLUS II
only uses 16 colors, you should not use this option.
Environment Variables
MAX+PLUS II uses environment variables to configure various options and
locate its files. MAX+PLUS II initializes them when it is installed, but you
may wish to change them to optimize your system performance.
If you are using the C shell, environment variables are located in your .cshrc
file, and have the following format:
setenv <environment variable> <value>
