Start / set default color to be a "Green Phosphor Monitor" color?

Hi, working today with typing a lot of BASIC code and got an idea: is it possible to set a "Green Phosphor Monitor" color, so the AppleDOS / BASIC stuff will look more retro-natural?

That link describes all the custom settings. Even easier, download the .dsk configuration file under 'Releases" and change the desired settings.

Thanks! Will try that

Updated the card with a latest firmware and made VGA-Config floppy disk - everything works and looks great!

I've enabled Monochrome mode, set foreground color to Green and saved the configuration. Now Apple IIe boots in to a green color. Will other stuff (e.g. Pacman game) work with a "native" colors?

Hey there! Switching on monochrome mode enables it for all video modes (text, lores, hires, & dhires), emulating the full monochrome monitor experience.

Thanks! I just tested it with a Pacman game - indeed a monochrome behaviour.
