DESCRIPTION

  A palette is a color scheme used to color a CDE workspace and the CDE
  components.

  A palette file provides the set of eight background colors that make up a
  color palette.

  A variety of palettes are provided with the CDE. As part of the default
  palette set there are several palettes designed specifically to work well
  on monochrome and gray scale displays.

  The Style Manager is the desktop graphical user interface tool which is
  used to add, delete, or modify a color palette. The end user should never
  need to act on the palette file directly.

  All palette files have a .dp suffix. The file contents are the eight colors
  of the palette, specified as RGB values in hexadecimal.

  The palette files provided with the system are located in the directory
  /usr/dt/palettes/C.

  User specific palette files are located in HOME/.dt/palettes.

  The Style Manager resource paletteDirectories can be used to specify
  additional directories where palettes are located.

  When a user creates a new palette, it is located in HOME/.dt/palettes.
  System palettes that the user has modified are also located in this
  directory. When a user deletes a palette, that palette is placed in the
  HOME/.dt/palettes directory with a ~ prefix. If it was a user specified
  palette, the original file is removed. System palettes are never removed.
  If the user has a ~ copy of a system palette, that palette will not appear
  in the list of available palettes in the Style Manager.


RETURN VALUE

  None.
