Abstract
Signaling a user of a computer system that a particular event has occurred. The present invention performs this task by using a color table, which contains a list of event types and a corresponding list of display attributes. The application program signals the user that an event has occurred by displaying an event object. The application program obtains the correct display attribute for the event object by calling the color table, giving it the event type. The color table is indexed by the event type and a screen capability flag that is obtained from the operating system. The color table provides the display attribute for the specified event type based on the screen capability flag.
