And let's make it easy to pick out the active window. [colors] Background=160 160 164 AppWorkspace=192 192 192 Window=192 220 192 WindowText=0 0 0 Menu=0 255 255 MenuText=0 0 0 ActiveTitle=255 255 0 InactiveTitle=130 130 130 TitleText=0 0 255 ActiveBorder=255 255 0 InactiveBorder=128 128 128 WindowFrame=0 0 0 Scrollbar=129 129 129 GrayText=100 100 100 HiLight=120 120 120 HiLightText=120 245 245 One of the little things that was hard to get just right was GrayText. If it doesn't look different from regular text in reverse mode, you keep trying to hit the greyed-out options in the menus! I would've preferred light blue (nobody in the real world calls it "cyan"!) for my document background, but the help manager insists on trying to complement it (and most background colors!) with light green for the hyped-text links -- not a readable combination! -- ergo@netcom.uucp Isaac Rabinovitch netcom!ergo@apple.com Silicon Valley, CA {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!ergo THIS STATEMENT IS VERIFIABLY, IRREFUTABLY TRUE!
