If the games are not in color, check for the following:
No ColorCards Demo file. The file containing the color card pictures must be in the same folder as Solitaire Till Dawn Demo, and it must be named ColorCards Demo.
Monitor not set for color. Color monitors can be set to show only black-and-white or greys. Make sure your monitor is set for at least 16 colors. (Use the Monitors control panel that came with your Macintosh system software.)
Not enough memory. Displaying color requires more memory than displaying in black and white. The more colors your monitor is set to display, the more memory is needed. If memory is your problem, there are two things you can try.
The first thing you can try is to give Solitaire Till Dawn Demo more memory. There is a table of suggested memory sizes in Chapter 1 ("Introduction") of this manual. (See your Macintosh User’s Guide if you don’t know how to adjust an application’s memory usage.)
If you can’t (or prefer not to) give Solitaire Till Dawn Demo more memory, you can reduce its memory needs by setting your monitor to 16 colors. To do this, use the Monitors control panel that came with your Macintosh.
I don't usually have my monitor set to 16 or 256 colors. If you prefer to use either black-and-white or more than 256 colors for most tasks, and you still want to run Solitaire Till Dawn in color: Select Preferences… from the Other menu, and click on either Change screen to 16 colors or Change screen to 256 colors. Solitaire Till Dawn will force your screen to the selected number of colors whenever it is running and its window is frontmost, and will restore your usual monitor setting when you quit or when its window is not frontmost. [Note: Preferences are not available in Solitaire Till Dawn Demo.]
Funny Colors
The background of the game window should be green and the Hearts and Diamonds should be red; the pictures on the face cards are multi-colored. If the colors on your screen look wrong, quit Solitaire Till Dawn, then start it again.
I Don't Want Color
If you don’t want color, select Preferences… from the Other menu, and select the box labeled Never use color.
If you really never want color, and want to save a little disk space, you can throw away the ColorCards Demo file. Be sure to keep a copy somewhere, so you can replace it if you ever change your mind!
Double Dealing
If the program seems to deal too many cards when you click on the hand, be sure you’re not double-clicking the hand. A single click is all it takes. (And remember you can Undo the second deal, if you double-click by mistake.)
