Re: Palette Colors

[User (Legacy)]

Heh, you make it sound so easy Steve that I just have no desire to go do

it...I used the pie chart way, and stuff an array with colors...easy..just a

little overhead..and it works fine.

I did know, didn't write it down.

If you "just haf'ta know" I suppose I can spend a bit of time this weekend

to "rediscover".

I seem to recall looking at all the palette entries and noticing the same

"header bits", then adjusted the next three entries to Red (which I recall

was ff,00,00) and made a graph.

While we're at it, a suggestion, export the branch to disk, make a working

copy and fiddle with it in notepad, upload, fiddle, upload, etc.  When

you're done or give up, reload the "good" .reg file.

At the time I was on my way to define a custom color palette.  Got

sidetracked!
