I just installed vice on my machine, and tried something that I remembered from the early days. The command "poke 36879,0", which always changed the background and border to black.
Here's the result:
The screen is white, and the text is in that odd mode where the text is the border color, and the space around each character is the character color.
I don't think that I'm remembering this feature wrong. Is this a bug in VICE? Is there a way to fix it?
I am running Windows 10 on a recent model Acer Aspire TC-885 model D17E5.
Ice VICE running properly?

POKE 36879,8 is the poke you're looking for. By poking 0 (bit 3 deleted) you activated the inverse-mode.

So I discovered. My memory of 36 years ago failed me.
It's that the designers included that reverse mode; I don't remember it being used in any software, and having access to all 16 colors would have been better.
