But I have yet to find any apps that offered color in any obvious way. SunDraw, Frame, all only come up black & white only with the traditional pattern fill options as if it were a Mac Plus. (idiotically I haven't tried any of the demos yet to see if they'll show color.) The only thing I've been able to do to show "it should work" is start suntools with the option to fill the background with medium gray instead of the default crosshatching.
