I have just joined this list and am unable to locate an archive I could search for an answer to my question. I'm sure someone will inform me if it exists or not!

I recently upgraded the school labs from OS9 to OSX 10.3. When the macs were in OS9 I had an AS that wouold change the display to 256 colors if a program required that. The student would simply activate the script and the monitor colors would change to 256.

In OSX I am finding that it may not be that simple. I have read in other places that a terminal application called cscreen is needed on the computer then a script can call that to make the changes.

Is this the case? I have tried to make a script that will open System Preferences and the Display Pane but without much luck.

Can someone tell me if this is possible and perhaps provide a few lines to get me started? I sure would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Mike
