Thanks everyone, 

I must say I'm totally ignorant about the X app thing. I thought the X
protocol was used only to open a screen remotely via the network. Do
regular applications also run as X apps? I ask that because in our case
all the Scada apps are used directly on the OpenVMS server, and not as 
from a Linux or Windows thin-client, for example, via the X11 protocol.

Does it make a difference? If it's a dead end, I'll just inform them that
as it hapens, this particular change is not supported by the OS in the 
way we wanted. It seems a minor thing, just it wasn't implemented by HP.

Looking forward, for VSI, such an option would be welcome, particularlly
in the Industrial Automation world, since most screens these days are dark.

Most operating screens are designed to be "low distraction" when nothing
special is happening, so I guess that's why.
