How to Use The Dialog

From the drop down list select the colour file that you want to load. Only colour files that are stored in the current set of folders for colour files are available. The folders can be specified in the Colours tab in the Folders option. Only files relevant to the design type will be displayed.

Loading Colours Files From The Colours Bar

As well as loading Colour Files from the Colours dialog, you can also load them quickly from the Colour Files Bar.

Loading a Cut Down Colours File

After saving colours to a file, you can edit the colours file in any text editor (e.g. Notepad).

This allows you to cut down the file by removing line entries of colours you do not wish to load later.

Within the (Colours … ) section is where all the colours are defined. Colours are placed into different entries based on their use.

When adding and removing elements, please make sure to keep the ( and ) brackets consistent.

The (Partial) keyword is required to keep existing set colours and only update certain colours with those defined in this file. If this keyword is not present, all existing colours will be reset to their base item colours.
