PopColours 1.0
November 1986
PopColours lets you change the Red/Green/Blue components of any
colour register, on any screen currently in the system.
When PopColours first comes up on the WorkBench screen, it is not
activated, and occupies only the title bar of a window so it
doesn't take up much space. When you click on it, the window pops
open to reveal the colour control panel. You can slide the
proportional colour gadgets to affect the colour of the indicated
colour register, or click in front of or behind the slider to
increment or decrement the colour value by one. Clicking on any
other window de-activates PopColours and "un-pops" it again.
To modify a different colour register, use the up and down arrows
on the right of the control panel. When the colour register value
gets to the highest colour register available in the screen, it
next goes back to zero. You can hold the arrows down and they
will auto-repeat. when modifying the colour of the WorkBench
screen, a square is drawn next to the colour register indicator
in the colour that's being changed (the current colour register).
The "TOP SCREEN" message is both an indicator and a gadget. It
indicates what screen you are changing the colours of, and lets
you select either the topmost or the second screen. For example,
if you started a task that opened a new screen, then slid the
screen down partially, revealing the WorkBench screen, playing
with PopColours would change the colours of the new, top screen,
not the WorkBench screen. This way you can modify the colours of
just about ANY program. With your new screen in place, you can
click on the "TOP SCREEN" message; it will switch to "SECOND
SCREEN". This choice allows you to change the colours of a non-
slidable screen (like TextCraft): use left-Amiga 'N' to bring the
WorkBench screen to the front, then slide it partially down to
see the other screen, and set PopColours to "SECOND SCREEN" mode.
You can then muck about with the colours of a program that
doesn't give you the option to do so. The poor program doesn't
know what's going on! If you click on "TOP SCREEN" when there
isn't another screen, the message (no 2nd screen)" will appear
for an instant, and "TOP SCREEN" will re-appear. With the options
to change either the topmost screen or the second screen from the
top, you can arrange screens to change the colours of any screen
currently in the system.
