[Coco] Nitros9 quick screen questions.

[Bill Nobel]

Ya I still use it to this day,  I have a emulated Coco3 on a Raspberry Pi that uses composite colors with your white on blue, but my other incarnations use the white/grey combos on RGB for MV.  By the way Curtis like the stuff you did on MV since I drifted off the coding for Nitros9.

That is one of the reasons I added the GSHPAL0 through GSHPAL3 settings into MultiVue/GShell - it gave Gshell windows their own color set, but did not override the system defaults.
