- Me too. And I agree. But has anyone noticed this?
-
- Whether the video card is in a graphics or text mode, the corners are
- just a tad darker than the rest of the screen. So for example if you
- have a blue background, then the four corners will be just a tad
- darker shade of blue.
-
- I also notice that if I have a white background and dark text, there's
- a bit of a shadow of the text to the right of the text. I'm thinking
- that I didn't see these shadows until I borrowed a friend's cheapo VGA
- card (could a video card do that? I hope so, else this post is one big
- contradiction!;-)).
