Flying Colors 1.1 (FLYCOL11) *Change the Windows system-colors to whatever you like* Copyright (C) 1995 Natural Software Company 59-247 Ke Nui Road, Haleiwa, HI 96712 DESCRIPTION Windows allows you to set the colors of various objects. However, the colors must be chosen from a fixed palette of 16 (or 20) colors which may not be changed. Flying Colors 1.1 is a Windows add-on utility that lets you change those palette-colors to anything you like. Color Configurations may be saved as .FLY files which may be loaded at any time. Flying Colors comes with a lot of extras including a built-in brightness (dimmer) control, a contrast control and several complexion (tint) controls. So give your tired eyes a rest, and liven up the Windows desktop by creating and using your own color schemes. INSTALLATION Copy the files: FLYINGC.EXE FLYINGC.HLP *.FLY to any directory where you like to keep your stuff. The other files are optional and may be deleted. However, you might like to save README.TXT (this file) and/or ORDER.TXT for future reference. Flying Colors may be started by running FLYINGC.EXE or by choosing FLYINGC.EXE from the File Manager.
