[DUG] Colours

[John Bird]

I am still using D5, not upgraded yet....I would like a finer control over
colours.
 
I have written a little test program to allow specifying of colours to see
the numbers with all the shades,
so far I have been using colours in the format 
 
$00BBGGRR
 
(Anyone wanting the test program email me - it has sliders for the 6 colour
values so you can see immediately what each does....)
So far I have found it hard getting colours I really like so:
 
Questions:
 
Q1 - Does anyone have a list of colour values that work well together -
especially pale colours
Q2 - any web sites or references for tools on selecting colour schemes?
Q3 - Any issues to be aware of with different windows versions and CRT vs
LCD screens?
Q4 - So far I don't seem to be able to get that many bright pale shades...is
there any other way of specifying the
overall brightness of the 3 BGR components other than that above?
Q5 - any way to get pale or grey colour to window title bar with D5?
 
 
Incidentally I have a descendant of Tbutton and ColorButton I have modified
myself:
 
Allow specifying a background colour, and text colour,
also a different background and foreground colour when the mouse hovers over
the button
also optionally the text on the button can be bolded when the mouse hovers.
Quite nice.
 
email me if interested..free giveaway
