Selecting colors
On all tabs (except the Value tab), you can change colors for different options. You can change the color of the background of the control, the background text, the character space, the lines, and the numeric symbols. Clicking the arrow next to a color option opens the color palette.
The current color setting is highlighted. Change the color by selecting another color from the palette, or select a color not shown in the palette by clicking More Colors.
The dialog that appears when you click More Colors varies according to the operating system you are using. You can define custom colors based on one or more of the following methods:
Rainbow control
You can define a color by moving the sliders in a rainbow control and luminosity control until the color is the one you want.
HSL
You can define a color by entering numbers for hue, saturation, and luminosity.
Hue corresponds to moving the rainbow control slider (the symbol that looks like a plus sign) horizontally. Use an integer from 0 to 239.
Sat corresponds to moving the rainbow control slider vertically. Use an integer from 0 to 240.
Lum corresponds to moving the luminosity control slider (the arrow symbol) vertically. Use an integer from 0 to 240.
RGB
You can define a color by entering numbers for red, green and blue. Red, Green and Blue can have any integer value from 0 to 255.
