Hi

The Tinspire CAS is an ace calculator, the only problem is the poor contrast of the screen because the document pages use a shade darker than no colour at all.

I was wondering, is there a way of hacking it so, that we can have a stronger contrast between text and background? The contrast button works, but not in the sense I am looking for. I would like it so that there is no shading behind the text...

I don't get what exactly the problem is, could you post a screenshot?

Hi,

What I mean is, that currently the screen looks like this:


I want it to look like this:


The contrast buttons do change this, but not to the extreme black of the text and no colour in the background I am looking for.

The nspire is a great calculator that helps me with the children I teach, but I am using my hp50g more and more because they (and I) find the screen unreadable at times.

Thanks

I don't think it is possible to make the contrast that great. Due to the nature of the LCD screen, the background cannot be that close to pure white. Sorry.

Why not Oo
The Problem ist changing the OS, but the LCD can handle this high contrast between none color und full color.

Or did you mean that it just cant be white, because the screen itself is light grey?

Because i guess he means that the background of the Window isn't 0x00 its 0x04 or something like this.
