Question: Can it be set to look like an amber display?

Hi,

VersaTerm looks like a quite interesting project. I like that it has HDMI as well as VGA. Thanks for creating it.

Can VersaTerm be set to look like an amber monochrome display?

Thank you,
BrendaEM

Due to the fact that the Pi Pico does not include an integrated video controller, the video output options of VersaTerm are somewhat limited. In HDMI mode, you can pick one of 64 colors for the foreground/backtround, in VGA mode there are 256 colors. You can try but I suspect none of those colors exactly match the hue of an amber CRT monitor. There is also no option to enable fake scanlines. You may be better off using one of the many terminal applications available on Windows/Linux if you want the picture to look true to an amber monochrome display.
