Syntax and Usage

• All colors are optional (defaults will be used if the color is not specified).

• Note that at this point colors.tbl only allows redefinition of the 22 pre-existing UI colors. New colors cannot be added as of yet.

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
