Example Table
The values in this table are the code's default values.
#Start Colors ;; This is colors.tbl. Here you can redefine the RGBA values for the 22 default colours for the UI. ;; Any redefining is optional, so you don't need to include all colors (the ones you skip will just use the default values). ;; However, any you DO redefine need to be placed in this order (and spelled this way): ;;$Blue ;;$Bright Blue ;;$Green ;;$Bright Green ;;$Black ;;$Grey ;;$Silver ;;$White ;;$Bright White ;;$Violet Gray ;;$Violet ;;$Dim Red ;;$Red ;;$Bright Red ;;$Pink ;;$Light Pink ;;$Yellow ;;$Bright Yellow ;;$UI Light Green ;;$UI Green ;;$UI Light Pink ;;$UI Pink ;;Redefine colors this way: ;;$Color Name: (RVALUE GVALUE BVALUE AVALUE) (the brackets are necessary!) ;;where RVALUE, GVALUE, BVALUE and AVALUE are integers between 0 and 255 inclusive ;;AVALUE is alpha value. Every default color just leaves this as 255, so if you're not sure, just use 255 $Blue: (93 93 128 255) $Bright Blue: (185 185 255 255) $Green: (0 120 0 255) $Bright Green: (50 190 50 255) $Black: (0 0 0 255) $Grey: (65 65 65 255) $Silver: (160 160 160 255) $White: (105 105 105 255) $Bright White: (255 255 255 255) $Violet Gray: (160 144 160 255) $Violet: (192 104 192 255) $Dim Red: (80 6 6 255) $Red: (126 6 6 255) $Bright Red: (200 0 0 255) $Pink: (185 150 150 255) $Light Pink: (230 190 190 255) $Yellow: (255 255 122 255) $Bright Yellow: (255 255 0 255) $UI Light Green: (161 184 161 255) $UI Green: (190 228 190 255) $UI Light Pink: (184 161 161 255) $UI Pink: (228 190 190 255) #End
