"Behind the Scenes" is the page that will give you the background of this site. I also get to thank everybody here.
This serves as a nice primer for the rest of my pages. You will learn why Mesa 2 is great for bumbling idiots (like me) and why smart people (like you, I presume) will enjoy Mesa 2.
There is a mention of black toolbar buttons in the Mesa 2 FAQ at Sundial. It's caused by some video drivers. With my luck, my sorry Cirrus Logic video drivers were among those drivers. This page has an explanation and a workaround. There's also a cool Web page that has lots of neat colors on it if you look at it in Netscape.
