Setting more line, frame, and text colors

Editions

In the Preference Options dialog box, 16 colors are available for selection. You can select other default colors by editing the Image.ini file. Your selection--unless it is one of the basic 16--is not added as a list option in the dialog boxes.

To create more line, frame, and text colors:

1. Open the Image.ini file in a text editor.

2. In the [Tool] section, locate the "Colour" keynames. The syntax is:

Object Colour=RRR,GGG,BBB

Where R=red, G=green, and B=blue, and each is a value between 0 and 255, where 0 equals none and 255 equals the maximum intensity of that color. For example, pure red is 255,0,0.

3. Set these keynames to the color values you want. Windows color tip

4. Save the Image.ini file.

When you restart Imagenation, the objects that you defined are now drawn with the colors you set.
