How to use User-defined Color-Sets
Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 07:47 PM
Hello,

Because 80 % of my customers are printshops, photographers, catalogue-designers ...,
I had to find a solution, to make it possible, each user can do his own color-defines.
Colors are a matter of taste for them.

I changed my tools, to work with a color-database inside a network.
Now each customer / user can create his own color-combination.
That can be selected at startup or at runtime.

Define / Change colorsets at Startup ( Login )


I started with Windows and Dialogs, Folders and xBrowse will follow.
All colors are stored in vars. Each user can define the colorsets he wants to use, together
inside his login. It can be splitted in groups like :
basic-data = colorset 500, for printing = colorset 501 and so on.
Each user can store his colorsets with a set-number like : user 1 = set 300-399, user 2 = set 400-499 ...
It works fine and saves much time, because otherwise I have to change the colors for each of my customers.
It is very special, and I don't know, if other FWH-user are looking for a solution like that.

Design Your own colorset


The Project-Color-Database


The selected Record from the Project-database with the Var-Values
