Joe,

Yes, a virus can do anything, so it could be the cause of your problem theorecitally, but it is very unlikely to happen. 

Have you updated LiveCode recently? Have you updated any colour profiles (think of Adobe, ColorSync, calibration tools)? Perhaps it is a gamma issue (look up the screenGamma property in the dictionary for an explanation)?

Suddenly, with no apparent changes to any of them, or the application in which they have been created, the light gray fills are printing as a light green. Is it possible that a virus has caused this anomaly? Since my eyesight is so poor, I didn't even realize this had happened at first. I've discarded every other possible resolution of the problem. This transpired pretty much over night. Yesterday everything was OK. Today not so. I've restarted, but have not reinstalled anything yet.
