Hope you guys don't mind, but I have a slightly different question
about implementing widget colors. I never knew this capability
existed, so I figured it would be great to use for some GUIs I wrote
that have lots and lots of drop-lists and cw-fields, but only a handful
of which the user needs to actively change or look at each time. I got
it to work fine for a simple test case with several buttons, but when I
apply it to my real code, I can only use major colors like red, green,
blue, etc (I'd like to use MistyRose, it's not so gaudy as the
others). Any ideas why?
