Par2: Changing backgrounds in the Embeditor
1998-12-07 -- Jim DeFabia
 
You CAN change the color of the background in the Embeditor. In C5edt.INI, look at the [color_groups] and [color_map] sections. You'll notice: 16=Disabled Background. This is the color the Embeditor uses for the "disabled" portion of the editor's display. IOW, this is generated text which you cannot modify in the Embeditor. Just change #16 in the [color_map] section to any color you like. The values are RGB values. I use: 16=198,255,255 which is a light blue. Choose the color you like and modify your INI. Be careful NOT to use 0,0,0 or you will have black on black . One other note: you must make any changes with Clarion closed. Edit the INI, save it, and reopen Clarion and you'll see your changes. Jim later added: Try 255,255,200 for that lemony look BTW: you can find the RGB values easily in any Colordialog in any app that calls it (e.g., Paint). Press the Define Custom Colors button to expand the dialog, then click on the color you want on the color chart. The RGB values are displayed underneath.
