Customizing MAX+PLUS II Colors
You can customize the colors of various elements in the MAX+PLUS II
window by editing the ASCII-format win.ini file, which is copied into the
<userÕs home directory>/windows directory the first time you run
MAX+PLUS II.
The settings in this file determine the colors of basic window elements when
Windows Òlook and feelÓ is selected. For more information about changing
the Òlook and feelÓ of the user interface, go to ÒEnvironment VariablesÓ on
page 288. In contrast, the Color Palette command (Options menu) in
MAX+PLUS II determines the colors of specific objects displayed in
individual MAX+PLUS II application windows.
The [colors] section of win.ini defines the color of various elements in the
MAX+PLUS II window. Three values in the range of 0 to 255 define the
amount of red, green, and blue (RGB) that determine the color of each
element.
The following table shows the [colors] section of a sample win.ini file
and a brief description of each window element.
