Could someone make me a Gem.cfg that would make OpenGEM have Win95-like colors, or an easy colorset editor?
I'm comparing various desktops for DOSbox, and one bad aspect of OpenGEM is the color scheme.

http://www.seasip.info/Gem/Software/win95.cfg is my quick attempt at creating one.

The colour editor is SETTINGS.APP -- I recommend downloading the latest one from http://www.seasip.info/Gem/Software/settings.zip , as previous versions had some usability problems with the colour chooser.

Is that thing not compiled or what? .c, .h files...

What you missed in CFG (and what I fixed) were desktop, checkbox and radio button, and making the Close button into the X letter.

I found that, though I had to purge the .ACC elements, OpenGEM is more reliable with GEM/3's fixed 2-pane desktop (all 4 "desktop" files taken from GEM 3.10d), than with GEM1/Mac-like desktop. What could possibly lead to this?
