I remember WAY back in the Turbo Pascal days when writing console apps, I could flip a switch to turn OFF blink mode and then get the extended set of background colors. Essentially all the colors from 0 to 7 at double-brightness. I don't seem to be able to find that kind of option in the existing CRT unit for FPC. How can I switch that bit so that I can have all 16 background colors? So far my code has only been written in Windows under XP.
I've looked at HighVideo and LowVideo and using either function before or after setting the TextBackground yields no difference. I've looked online for alternative source (With no plans to use them as I need to compile my code for ARM, Linux and Windows, and I want my code to be as "stock" as possible).
