Library /sys$common/syshlp/EXAMPLES/DECW/CUSTOM.HLB  —  Overview  inter_sum
               A list of available palettes is in the upper left section
               of the screen-click on the desired palette to see it take
               effect.

               Below that are two arrays of colored buttons, representing
               the dynamically allocated color cells for normal and shadow
               colors. To find out what resources are being affected by a
               color cell, click and hold the arrow button next to it. As
               a shortcut, you can click on the screen facsimile in the
               upper right corner of the dialog box. If the portion you
               click on is colored by one of resource values controlled by
               the customizer, the popup for the appropriate color button
               will be displayed.

               To modify a single color cell, click on the corresponding
               color button. A colormix widget will pop up, and, as
               you modify the color, you will see these modifications
               reflected in your workstation environment. Use the colormix
               widget reset button to return to the starting color at any
               time. You can also change the color cell you are modifying
               by clicking on a different color button while the colormix
               widget is displayed.

               The automatic shadowing option causes shadow and select
               colors to be automatically updated when their corresponding
               background colors are changed. The standard Motif shadowing
               algorithms are used for these calculations.

               Use the File menu to modify, add, and delete color palettes
               as follows:

               o  To modify an existing palette, select the palette,
                  change to the desired colors, and choose Save Palette
                  from the File menu.

               o  To add a new palette to the list box, select an existing
                  palette, modify the colors as necessary, and choose Save
                  Palette As... from the File menu. A message box prompts
                  you for the name of the new palette.

               o  To delete a palette, select the palette in the listbox
                  and choose Delete Palette from the File menu.

               Changes made through the File menu will automatically
               update the file that contains the resource defaults,
               CUSTOM.DAT.

               The File menu Exit button causes the customizer application
               to exit. A warning dialog is displayed first. Note that the
               color cells allocated by the customizer (and used by the
               currently running applications) will be freed. After the
               customizer exits, if the colors of the currently running
               applications are not correct, the applications will need to
               be restarted to restore normal colors. Normally, there is
               no need to exit the color customizer-it is typically kept
               running all the time, like the Session Manager.
