Add monochrome mode #13

Closed badvision closed 8 years ago

badvision commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have monochrome modes, perhaps with varying shades of monochrome (amber/green/white)

:+1: Would like this feature -- especially for reading HGR monochrome fonts with half-pixel shifts.

badvision commented 8 years ago

Have you tried text-friendly mode? It's kind of a happy medium.

Michaelangel007 commented 8 years ago

Weird, drag-n-drop isn't working now. Will test Ctrl-Shift-G tomorrow.

Michaelangel007 commented 8 years ago

Strange, must of been a low memory thing, drag-n-drop is working again.

The monochrome video mode switching works great! There is one minor bug though. :-/

Press Ctrl-Shift-G 20+ times quickly before the new video mode text has disappeared. The text for the new video modes will start overlapping making it hard to the last set video mode.

One wishlist feature: Ability to customize the monochrome colors. The green is a little too pastel / "washed" out compared to a real green screen.

Well, if want you can suggest what default to use. :) I've been experiencing a local issue where the UI is sluggish for the first 10 seconds that the program has started and then clears up. I'm not sure if it's because of a recent change in the past couple of weeks or if it is a bug introduced in a recent java build. Once I can determine this I'll raise a bug for it.

Thanks for the fixing the "lingering overlay text" from mode switches via commits in #14 ! Also, the fixes from #28 have taken care of the slow startup.
