I need help, and it's not something basic.

I was digging around in the boot file and the preferences and everything, but I couldn't find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to set G-Force's starting colormap. Right now it starts out black and has to fade to my white colormap, and I'm trying to have it just start out white. Please HELP!

The boot file starts the logo.txt script. You can put a command in logo.txt like this:

SetColorMap( "MyColorMap",.5);

Substitute the name of your colormap for MyColorMap and save the file.

Thank you very much, chkman. For some reason I couldn't find this documented anywhere, although I'm betting I just didn't look hard enough... Although it is still showing the G-Force logo and black background after starting up, and I haven't found a way around this... any help would again be appreciated... (Oh, and I'm also trying to get the screen saver to be detecting by the G-Force Toolbar, any help on that would also be very well received.)

The logo at the beginning is like a 'splash screen'. G-Force reads in all the config files at startup so it can't display any waves etc till it gets booted up. How often do you start G-Force? Once started I leave it run for days (at home).

I don't think toolbar will work with the screen saver. The screen saver is like a, well, screen saver, you hit a key or use the mouse and they're supposed to clear out. The toolbar does work with the standalone version.
