I like the convenience of the flash client. Is there a way to make the text black and the background color, white? Purportedly, it's easier on the eyes. I don't see this in the settings anywhere...
At the top of the client is a bar with buttons:
[Connect] [Disconnect] [Editor] [Settings] [About]
Click Settings.
A window will come up that has preferences on a tab (which is the initial tab selected).
Look under the "Normal Colours" list. At the bottom is says "background color" and has a box next to it, which you can click to change the color.
HOWEVER, in testing trying to change the output, I can only get the font type to change (not the color), so you will have to let me know if this works for you or not.
No, it doesn't.
I tried that out before but thought there may be some setting I missed, so I asked here.
Clearly the flash client is not actually all that convenient, hehe.
To change appearance like that you probably have to go to a real client. I use MUSHClient. Seemed easy enough to get into when I started with it, but it's got all the advanced features one could want (logging, triggers, etc) as well.
God, please do not use the Flash client. I will personally send you a stripped down MUSHclient world file if it keeps you from using it.
