Nope. Too inconspicuous. How about
David "Decomposed=0" Fanning, Ph.D.

I deliberately don't put this command in my start-up file
in an attempt to cut down on the dumb errors I make
otherwise. But I can't tell you how many times I run
programs and don't get any colors...
Someone suggested I put Device, Decomposed=0 in my
signature file in an attempt to get the message out.
Couldn't hurt, I suppose. :-)
I wonder if RSI is giving any thought to this issue... :-(
Cheers,
David

Thanks to all ,
it was my fault because device,decomposed=0 is in my start_up file.
While I am using idlde I have this startup file but during runtime this file is
ignored.
This means that's I have to replicate all settings from the start_up file to the
routines which I like to use in runtime.
