Dan,
In Quarterback 5.0.2 we slightly modified the algorithm that picks what
colors to use for the 3-D look. This has the result that more screen color
combinations have the 3-D look, but some combinations that used to no
longer do. When Quarterback can't find what it thinks is an appropriate
set of colors for its 3-D look, it falls back to a 2-D look.
The only solution is to change your screen colors slightly until you get
the 3-D look back. What Quaterback needs is a set of four colors (or
something close to them):
White (15, 15, 15)
Light gray (10, 10, 10)
Dark gray ( 5, 5, 5)
Black ( 0, 0, 0)
(The numbers above are RGB values for colors it considers to be a "perfect"
fit). If one of your colors is something like (6, 2, 12) then it won't fit
in very well.
