Purpose of Chat's Custom Colors Button (90217)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
This article was previously published under Q90217 SUMMARY
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Chat has a Define Custom Colors
button in its Background Color dialog box. The button is always dimmed
(unavailable) because Chat uses a standard Windows dialog for choosing
the background color.
MORE INFORMATION
Depending on the type of display you have, some of the colors you can
choose in this dialog box will be shown by "dithering" (intermixing
alternating pixels of different colors) to approximate a color shade
that cannot be shown as a solid color. Chat can only use solid colors
as text background; if the color chosen is a dithered color, it will
be mapped to the nearest solid color. Because most systems support
even fewer solid colors than appear in the color choice dialog,
creating custom colors was not considered a useful feature to provide.
To save resources, the dialog box is created with a style that always
disables the Create Custom Colors button.
