This an addition to Atenefyr's Nocolor script. This makes all text white, and all backgrounds black to make any color-using script work on an basic computer. My addition is the cursor: Press ALT to spawn it, it will show up as an X and pause the program. Then, you can use the arrow keys to move it to where you want it. Once it's where you want it, press ENTER to click something, or SHIFT to right click something.
I plan to also incorporate mouse scrolling


To install, just do
pastebin run c3anvHHK

This uses Gopher's Redirect API





And we shall rise once more, and put shame on the nonbelievers. They once thought they where superior, but they are wrong. We shall bring fourth and distribute until they are a mere monocolor shadow-

a note about this, it doesn't seem like it actually allows black on white, because it prevents changing the text to black unless the background is white, and vice-versa, and since you have to change one at a time, you effectively just can't change it, period. This would break some programs that actually do support black and white, but use inverted colors to convey information.

I think it would be more practical in a less absolute form, like, as a program like monitor, invoked on a per-program basis as "nocolor <progname> <args>" from the command line, rather than as something that is just applied absolutely and universally on the computer at startup.

If you set the program to something other than startup, it will run just fine, and run a new instance of shell. Although, I'm not sure about returning.

Does this nocolor add greyscale to normal computers?

That is interesting question. How would you define conversion from colors to 2 color greyscale and avoid same kind of grays one on another (unreadable). One way i could see it is define all colors (except white and black) of background as light gray and all of font as dark gray.
