How to invert LCDs

First, make sure that there aren't already and LCDs that have inverted colours and that there aren't any options for this in the properties dialogs for the LCDs.
If not: I don't use VSM so I don't know if it's right, but print screen an LCD with text on it and paste it in to any image editor that will tell you the hex colour code of any part of the image, then do a find and replace with that colour and the new colour in the library files for the LCD. DO this for both background and foreground colours.
Yes, have you done the stuff in my last post?
How to edit colours in library files and which library files. Earlier I had converted a Green LCD to a Blue LCD in proteus, but the text was black. Now I want to convert the LCD to a background Black and text white. I have converted the background to black, but I want to know how to convert the text to white. Any text sent to the LCD should appear in white.
I don't know how as I don't use the program, but shouldn't it just be done the same way as the background colour?
Can you make copies of all the files for one particular LCD display. Then on the originals, change the background colour to something else. Then use the comp command in the Command Prompt to find the differences between the current and old copy of the files and this will locate where the background colour settings are stored. Once you've located the background colour setting, the foreground colour setting can't be far away.
For generic VSM issues the software producers ( Labcenter Electronics ) provide a user forum where help may be available -

I took this long to reply because I was hoping that someone who knew more about this would step in and help, but as they haven't then...

- If '1' didn't work, then go to http://www.labcenter.com/ and ask there.
Labcenter people said that PICAXE VSM is related to picaxe.co.uk So, I have to get support from them and not labcenter. They said that Labcenter is for Proteus registered version. I'm using PICAXE VSM registered version.
Jayanthd, you aren't asking for support from the Labcentre people, you are, I hope, asking for advice from their forum members, one of whom may know the answer to your question. Arguably more chance there than here. You don't have to wave your PICAXE flag when asking the Proteus VSM users about their experiences.
A bit of tact is required. Like not talking about your previous girlfriend to your latest squeeze.
