DiskSuite Tool uses a variety of colors:
Standard foreground color - Determines the main colors used to display almost all of the application's elements. The standard background provides the default color for windows, buttons, and other controls.
Standard background color - Provides the color value used to display information presented in windows, buttons, and other controls.
Canvas background color - Provides the background color for data areas. For example, the display areas for the Editor, Disk View window, and scrolling lists all use the canvas background color.
Mapping colors - Display the mappings from logical devices to their slices in the Disk View window. There are eight mapping colors, one for each of the DiskView mappings.
Status colors - Highlight status information for objects needing attention. There are three status conditions requiring unique colors: Attention, Urgent and Critical.
The X Window System RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color specification mechanism enables you to specify a nearly infinite variety of colors. Of course, many of these colors will appear similar, varying only slightly in shade or intensity.
To aid in selecting and specifying colors, the X Window System provides a standard default set of colors that you can specify by name instead of RGB values. This "database" of color names can be examined using the standard X utility showrgb. It shows the RGB values and a corresponding descriptive alias. For example:
# showrgb 199 21 133 medium violet red 176 196 222 light steel blue 102 139 139 paleturquoise4 159 121 238 mediumpurple2 141 182 205 lightskyblue3 0 238 118 springgreen2 255 160 122 light salmon 154 205 50 yellowgreen 178 58 238 darkorchid2 69 139 116 aquamarine4 ... 107 107 107 gray42 71 71 71 gray28 61 61 61 gray24 255 255 255 white 0 205 205 cyan3 0 0 0 black |
You can also examine the default color name database by looking at the /usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt file.
Unfortunately, there are no standard applications for browsing colors. If you don't have access to a public domain color browser, experiment by trial and error.
