Change Colors
=============

How to open the ChangeColors window
-----------------------------------
Note. ChangeColor is a separate program.
There are several possibilities available to open the Change
Colors window.

- By starting the ChangeColors.exe from RK main folder
- By selecting from pull-down menu (open it with F1 before)
- By mouse click on a button which is assigned with
  {/ME.COLOR.EDIT}
- By click on palette button in Keys Edit


For what is the ChangeColors program useful?
--------------------------------------------
All the buttons of RK can be designed with 16 colors for back-
ground and letters. If one ore more colors are unwanted the
ChangeColors program offers the possibility to create another
color set.
Because all 16x16 color combinations are listed in this form,
it is also helpful to find well suited combinations of back and
foreground colors for the buttons. Therefore RK offers in the
Edit Keys requester a button to start this program.


Organisation
------------
The colors are separately saved in a file called colors.dat which
is placed in the profiles folder. If RK can not find this file
(maybe RK was updated) it will use the old default colors.
RK will not check if there were made any changes in ChangeColors
untill it starts again. Therefore there is a command called
/ME.COLOR.REFRESH which will give order to RK to load the colors
file and update the shown colors during runtime.
ChangeColors must stay in the main folder of RK because it use the
colors.dat, profiles.dat and language.txt files. Besides it is
called from RK.

ChangeColors load automaticly the colors.dat which is used of RK
when ChangeColors starts.

Note!
ChangeColors use the windows system library comdlg32.ocx which
should be normally on each system. If not it can be downloaded on
www.frewwarehits.de


Color selecet area
------------------
In the left below corner of the form there is a grid which 16
squares. Each square shows 1 available color of/for RK. These
squares are clickable and have a dopple function.

1. Normal click
This will open the standard windows color requester and offers the
user to change the color.

2. Long click
This will make the mouse pointer to a hand and shows the user that
the color positions can be changed by drag & drop.


LOAD/SAVE Colors
----------------
ChangeColors can load/save the colors.dat which is used by RK.
With the individual buttons the user can create different sets. But
RK can only load the colors.dat so it is required to save a set
with ColorsChange as "For RK Use" or to rename the filename by hand.
The Default colors button will set the colors to the old RK colors
from v1.0.


16x16 colored demo squares (Test) and Flip button
-------------------------------------------------
These squares are also click-able to show the color numbers for RK.
The flip button offers a fast possibility to change between the
colors for background and letters.
