OK, I added some ini-file items to change the colors of the info messages. As I said - it's not supported right now (build 4.1.396), so you have to wait for the next program update.
All the colors are entered as a number. If you have the color expressed as RGB, each component in the range 0..255, the formula for the color number is
color = 65536*B + 256*G + RIn other words, the color is expressed as a decimal number whose hexadecimal representation is 00BBGGRR.
Note: no checking is performed on the entered values, so using them is on your own risk. I believe that the worst that can happen is that you won't see anything (e.g. when using a black text on a black background), but I warned you
Unfortunatelly, it's not possible to "test" the colors anyhow - so you'll have to rely on your guesses.
For the changes in the ini file to take effect, a reboot is required (or at least restart of ashDisp.exe on WinNT/2k/XP). If any of the values is not present in the ini file (which is the default), the default values are used by the program.
All of the values should be in the
[AAVM] section.
Now, the values for the "messages" (e.g. the items displayed when "Show detailed info on performed action") are:
- MsgTitleBkgColor1 - initial color of the titlebar background
- MsgTitleBkgColor2 - final color of the titlebar background (a gradient is formed: initial color... final color)
- MsgTitleTextColor - color of the titlebar text
- MsgInfoBkgColor - color of the message background ("simple info message")
- MsgInfoTextColor - color of the message text ("simple info message")
- MsgHighBkgColor - color of the message background ("high priority message")
- MsgHighTextColor - color of the message text ("high priority message")
- MsgFatalBkgColor - color of the message background ("fatal error")
- MsgFatalTextColor - color of the message text ("fatal error")
The values for the "Info screens" (e.g. the blue square saying that "Program update is available") are:
- InfoEmergencyTitleBkgColor1 - initial color of the background for emergency messages
- InfoEmergencyTitleBkgColor2 - final color of the background for emergency messages
- InfoEmergencyTextColor - text color for emergency messages
- InfoNormalTitleBkgColor1 - initial color of the background for normal messages
- InfoNormalTitleBkgColor2 - final color of the background for normal messages
- InfoNormalTextColor - text color for normal messages
- InfoTitleColor - title text color
An example: to set the titlebar text color of the "Show detailed info on performed action" messages to
green (which is probably not what you really want to do, because it's not very nice to read
), use
MsgTitleTextColor=65280
