Rick Henkel - FrameMaker-Related Stuff

According to Wikipedia, a "moire pattern" is "an interference pattern created when two grids are overlaid at an angle, or when they have slightly different mesh sizes." Screen captures often have that moire pattern, especially on dialog box scroll bars.

Roger Shuttleworth provided a solution to this problem on one of the FrameMaker user's lists. (He said that he in turn got this answer from the list several years ago.)

1. On your desktop, right-click and select Properties on the shortcut menu that appears.

2. Click the Appearance tab.

3. Click the OK button on the Message Box example. The Item drop-down list automatically selects 3D Object.

4. Click the Color arrow to display the drop-down list, and click Other.

5. Change the value in the Lum field to 180.

6. Click Add to Custom Colors.

7. Click OK on the Color dialog box and again on the Display Properties dialog box.

(These steps are specifically for Win2K. Things might be in different locations for different flavors of Windows.)
