[comp.sys.mac] Colored windows in APPLs

Sorry if this is old news, but I just realized it.  You can have different
applications have different colored windows
by giving them different wctb resources (id=0, I think.)
The best way I know to create wctb's is Kolor.  But this only puts
the result in your System file.  You'll probably want to copy this,
put it in an application, then edit it with ResEdit, preferably with 
Jeff Harrow's wctb template.
It works with dumb virtue, at least.
It's especially neat under MultiFinder.

I have been customizing my screen with Kolor and now I can't choose specific
colors.  They all map to a color that is "close" to the one I want.  I guess
I filled up the color table and Kolor won't change existing entries.  I'd like
to reset things to the way they were before I began using Kolor.  Does anyone
know what I need to change (or remove) such as wctb's or clut's and which ones?

Thanks,
