How to Start EZ in Reverse Video


To set your EZ window to reverse video, that is, with white letters on black background, you can do two things.

You can add the following lines to your ~/.preferences file:

*.ForegroundColor: White
*.BackgroundColor: Black

ez.ForegroundColor: White
ez.BackgroundColor: Black
It is also possible to set the colors in the command line as your are starting EZ. Use the -fg option to set the foreground color and -bg to set the background color. So EZ in reverse video would be started like this:
ez -fg white -bg black &
