DESCRIPTION
A palette is a color scheme used to color a CDE workspace
and the CDE components.
A palette file provides the set of eight background colors
that make up a color palette.
A variety of palettes are provided with the CDE. As part of
the default palette set there are several palettes designed
specifically to work well on monochrome and gray scale
displays.
The Style Manager is the desktop graphical user interface
tool which is used to add, delete, or modify a color
palette. The end user should never need to act on the
palette file directly.
All palette files have a .dp suffix. The file contents are
the eight colors of the palette, specified as RGB values in
hexadecimal.
The palette files provided with the system are located in
the directory /usr/dt/palettes/C.
User specific palette files are located in
HOME/.dt/palettes.
The Style Manager resource paletteDirectories can be used to
specify additional directories where palettes are located.
When a user creates a new palette, it is located in
HOME/.dt/palettes. System palettes that the user has
modified are also located in this directory. When a user
deletes a palette, that palette is placed in the
HOME/.dt/palettes directory with a ~ prefix. If it was a
user specified palette, the original file is removed.
System palettes are never removed. If the user has a ~ copy
of a system palette, that palette will not appear in the
list of available palettes in the Style Manager.
