yes I run AFNI locally on my Mac.
I agree with this idea of MacOS spaces. I have two accounts on my MacBook. is this the reason?
the following is the content of .afnirc file:
// This is a sample .afnirc file.
// Copy it into your home directory, with the name ‘.afnirc’.
// Then edit it to your heart’s delight.
// See README.setup and README.environment for documentation.
***COLORS
// Define new overlay colors. These will appear on the color menus.
