NOTE: The color config file has changed. Delete AMCOLOR.SET and start over. ArcMaster now supports complete program color configuration via a color selection dialog box. Users with color systems will see the color selection box as shown below: ΙΝ[ώ]ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ ArcMaster Color Selection ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί Ί Ί Group Item Ϊ Foreground Ώ Ί Ί Desktop  Frame passive  ³ ³ Ί Ί Status/Msg bars ± Frame active ± ³ ³ Ί Ί Menus ± Frame icons ± ³ ³ Ί Ί Left Main Window ± Slider bar ± ³ ³ Ί Ί Right Main Window ± Scroll bar symbols ± ΐΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΩ Ί Ί Compress Dialogs ± Normal text ± Ϊ Background Ώ Ί Ί DeCompress Dialogs ± Current day ± ³ ³ Ί Ί Arc View/Zoom Win ± ± ³ ³ Ί Ί Tag List Dialog ± ώ ΐΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΩ Ί Ί Editor Windows ώ ± Text Text Text Ί Ί Help Window   Text Text Text Ί Ί Ί Ί Background Pattern Select OK ά Cancel ά Ί Ί ( ) ° () ± ( ) ² ( ) Ϋ ίίίίίίίί ίίίίίίίί Ί ΘΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΌ Users with monochrome systems will see the mono selection box: ΙΝ[ώ]ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ ArcMaster Mono Selection ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί Ί Ί Group Item Ϊ Color ΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΏ Ί Ί Desktop  Frame passive  ³ ( ) Normal ³ Ί Ί Menus ± Frame active ± ³ ( ) Highlight ³ Ί Ί Left Main Window ± Frame icons ± ³ ( ) Underline ³ Ί Ί Right Main Window ± Slider bar ± ³ ( ) Inverse ³ Ί Ί Compress Dialogs ± Slider bar sybols ± ΐΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΔΩ Ί Ί DeCompress Dialogs ± Normal text ± Ί Ί Arc Viewer ± Current day ± Ί Ί Tag List Dialog ± ± Ί Ί Editor Windows ± ώ Ί Ί Help Window ώ ± Text Text Text Ί Ί Calendar   Text Text Text Ί Ί Ί Ί Background Pattern Select OK ά Cancel ά Ί Ί ( ) ° () ± ( ) ² ( ) Ϋ ίίίίίίίί ίίίίίίίί Ί ΘΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΌ The main dialog box contains two list boxes named Group and Item. The items in the Item list will be a function of which Group is selected. The following is an explanatory list of the items for the main file windows and all dialog boxes. The Background pattern character determines the background behind the two main AM windows. The last character (Ϋ) will create a solid back ground and if you want no background at all, simply change the Desktop foreground color to black. Frame inactive frame color when window is not active Bckgnd/Frame Sel background and frame color when window is active Frame icons frame symbol color Slider bar vertical and horizontal scroll bar color Slider symbol vertical and horizontal scroll symbol color Static text normal window text color Label normal cluster or control label color Label selected color when label is active Label shortcut shortcut character color Button normal normal push-button color Button default color when push-button is default Button selected color when push-button is selected Button disabled color when push-button is disabled Button shortcut button label shortcut character color Button shadow button shadow color Cluster normal normal cluster color Cluster selected cluster color when selected Cluster shortcut cluster label shortcut Input normal input edit field normal color Input selected input edit field color when selected Input arrow history down arrow color History button history button color History sides history arrow side color History bar page history bar page color History bar icons histor bar symbol color List normal select (file) list color Active cursor cursor bar color when window active Inactive cursor cursor bar color when window not active Divider Zoom list divider color File Attr Set Color for files with a non-zero attribute Like all AM dialog boxes, movement around the box is effected with the mouse or via the Tab and Shift+Tab keys. The Tab key moves in order through the main control clusters and the Shift+Tab key moves in reverse order. Cursor movement inside a cluster is accomplished via the Arrow keys and other keyboard cursor pad keys. Changing colors is accompished by selecting Group item and then selecting an item from the Item list. The foreground and background colors of the "Text Text Text" lines will change as a guide as you change the item's colors by setting the foreground and background boxes. When the colors of a Group have been set, you may check the visual effet of the new colors by pressing the "OK" button (or Enter key) to leave the color select dialog. Then select the window or dialog box of the window whose colors were just changed. The current color set may be saved to a disk file at any time. The program color set will be saved to a file named AMCOL.SET, which will be placed in the directory from which AM was launched. AM will look for the file named AMCOL.SET when executed and load it if found. You may also load the file from any directory and this permits changing the color set when desired by keeping different color set files in different directories. It is not feasible to individually tailor every one of the dialogs and windows which appear when running AM, so some of the items in the group list affect multiple windows/dialogs. The following list indicates which windows/dialogs are controlled by the group items. Any dialogs not specified here are controlled by the Archive Viewer dialog color settings. DeskTop Status/Msg Bars Top message bar Bottom status bar Main menu bar Left Main Window Right Main Window Compress Dialogs DeCompress Dialogs Compressed File SCAN Dialog Execute Program Menu Dialog Set Archive System Dialog Compress EXE Dialog Arc Viewer Normal SCAN Dialog Search Dialog Information Dialog All other windows/dialogs not listed here Tag List Dialog Directory Tree Dialog Single File Copy Dialog Registraton Dialog Calculator About Window Zip Comment Edit Dialog AM Configure Dialog Editor Windows Help Window AM File Browser Calendar Editor ClipBoard Hex Browser Zoom Window Takes on the same colors as the window active when Zoom is activated. Users with laptop portables that have problems with the default AM colors should ensure that AMCOL.SET does not exist and then should start AM with the command line switch "/m". From that point you can from that point you can save the colors and not need to use the /m switch again. Three sample color files are included. To try these out, rename one to AMCOL.SET and place it in the same directory with AM.EXE and AM.OVR. The sample files are COLORS.SET, BW.SET, and MONO.SET.
