Those should work.

The faster way in Paint Shop Pro [why capture anything?] is to hit New,
tell it what size you want it to be, then fill the whole thing with the
paint bucket in whatever color you want. Done.. =)
Temporarily changing the color schemes in Windows or OS/2 [or most
any GUI] can get you the same thing with what you already have handy.
I don't personally have a Thinkpad yet, but am saving for a
TP560-120MHz [maybe 133MHz] and 32MB mem module and will have it in 2
months. I can't stand to buy anything on credit. I musta been raised
funny. =)
