Color Buttons

Your display type and the Number of Colors selection determine the number of color buttons that make up a palette. You will have two, four, or eight color buttons in the Color dialog box. The different color buttons in the palette control the colors used for different areas of the screen.

If you have eight color buttons, they will be used as follows (buttons numbered from left to right, top to bottom):

1. Active window borders

2. Inactive window borders

3. Switch for workspace 1 and every fourth additional workspace (workspace 5, 9, ...)

4. Text and list areas

5. Main window background and switch for workspace 2 and every fourth additional workspace (workspace 8, 12, ...)
