[comp.databases] FoxPro Color Schemes

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (06/07/90)

Can someone tell me what the meanings are of the elements in a FoxPro
color scheme?  Specifically, I want to know what the Screen
(background) color is, so I can set it to black.

Appendix B of the User Manual displays two tables defining the
dependancies of each COLOR PAIR for a COLOR SCHEME. Each COLOR SCHEME
has 10 COLOR PAIRS.  There are 24 COLOR SCHEMES in a COLOR SET.  Fox
provides a series of predefined COLOR SETS that you can load from the
color picker option of the window pull down menu.  Check your
CONFIG.FP file to determine the default COLOR SET loaded at startup.

The background screen color is defined by COLOR SCHEME #1, or the
"Usr Wind."  The color pair in question is COLOR PAIR #1 "Standard
Text."  Two colors are associated with the color pair, a foreground
and a background color.  You will want to change the #1 COLOR PAIR of
the #1 COLOR SCHEME of the default COLOR SET to
               <foreground_color_of_your_choice>/n

I would first copy the default COLOR SET to another name so that
the original colors can be preserved.
