- Hey, coulnd't you just ( assuming you guys and gals code in C ) :
-
- union REGS regs;
-
- regs.x.ax = 0x1010;
- regs.x.bh = <BORDER COLOR ENTRY NUMBER>;
- regs.x.dh = 0; // Red
- regs.x.ch = 0; // Green
- regs.x.cl = 0; // Blue
- int86(0x10, ®s,®s);
-
- This would set a pallet entry for the VGA/SVGA 256 color modes.
-
- Off haand I don't know what the pallet number for the boreder color is,
- but if you think this would work, I'll dig it (the pallet number) up.
