Hi,
When I display an overlay scale bar in tksurfer, the labels for the scale bar are displayed in black on a black background. Obviously, this is completely unusable since I cannot read them! They are there, however, because if I move the surface over so that it underlies the scale bar, the text shows up (in black) just fine.
Some time ago the text was rendering in blue, which I thought was an odd choice but gave no further thought to it until I noticed the text disappear completely. Now, it seems like a bug to me, but unfortunately I did not notice exactly when the switched occurred. Unless there is some setting buried somewhere to control the text color? I'd love to just set it to white and not deal with this again... I have upgraded both my os and my graphics drivers recently so I wonder if that broke something.
The only clue I have is that I know the newest ATI drivers run on AIGLX instead of XGL, could that cause any errors?
I'm seeing this in both FS 3 and 4: tksurfer --all-info on my v.4 returns: ProgramName: tksurfer.bin ProgramArguments: --all-info ProgramVersion: $Name: $ TimeStamp: 2008/03/03-22:12:05-GMT BuildTimeStamp: Sep 17 2007 17:25:01 CVS: $Id: tksurfer.c,v 1.276.2.5 2007/09/16 23:37:27 greve Exp $ User: scott Machine: Renoir Platform: Linux PlatformVersion: 2.6.22-14-generic CompilerName: GCC CompilerVersion: 30200 tksurfer --all-info on my v.3 returns: ProgramName: tksurfer.bin ProgramArguments: --all-info ProgramVersion: $Name: $ TimeStamp: 08/03/03-22:14:40-GMT CVS: $Id: tksurfer.c,v 1.183.2.11 2007/01/04 22:30:38 nicks Exp $ User: scott Machine: Renoir Platform: Linux PlatformVersion: 2.6.22-14-generic CompilerName: GCC CompilerVersion: 30200
