Re: [Eclipse-clp-bugs] Colour Combinations not usable - need to know how to tweak colour assignments

[Eric M. <eri...@ro...>]

Hello, Joachim,


I have been looking at what I said about pulling out colour references 
into a simplified mechanism for customizing.

Attached is the corrected version of the script to locate line 
references with the -fg, -bg, -foreground and -background keywords.

I have started the process by extracting the references to colour values 
as uniquely defined variables at the start of scripts.

Attached is a set of those which I have done so far.

IMPORTANT:  What I have noticed is that, for the most part, the 
-foreground colour is not explicitly defined in the definitions 
statements.  While I understand that you expected components/widgets to 
inheret that value, I believe that initial value (and possibly revisit 
value) is not initialized, at least not in a manner compatible with the 
defaults of tkeclipse.  If that value were explicitly defined within 
tkeclipse that could likely resolve the issue which I am encountering.  
If not, I will have to keep plugging along with what I started, and 
later extract those as an externally file with shared color parameter 
definitions.

I used a non-functional naming to be consistent with the initial colour 
assignments.

Only later, when I finally understand while code relates to which 
component of the GUI, will I attempt to assign a set of functionally 
related variable names.
