1 XCE Color editor tool for X11/Motif SYNOPSIS $ xce [ -toolkit_options ] 2 DESCRIPTION xce is a simple tool for experimenting with color combinations on a window in real time. When it comes up, a small screen is displayed next to four sliders. Three of the four sliders represent the primary colors red, green, and blue. By moving the sliders, one can adjust the mix of primary colors in the small screen. A lable displays the hex representation of the current color, suitable for cut and paste into application resource files. The forth slider adjusts the intensity of the current color buy causing the three primary color sliders to move at the same time. There is a button labeled `Window' in the right corner of the main display. When this button is pushed, the cursor changes to a cross hair. You then move the cursor over a window (or application) that you'd like to edit and click the left mouse button. A new window is then created which will display a copy of the window you clicked on. You can set them side-by-side for comparisons. Also, another window is created, called the palet, which contains buttons marked with the different colors that make up the window you chose. Now you may click on a button on the palet. The small color edit screen then changes to the same color as the button. When the sliders are moved now, they affect the small color edit window, the button on the palet, and the corresponding color in the window image. In this manner, you can adjust and fiddle with application defaults from now until doomsday! 2 OPTIONS xce understands all of the standard X toolkit options. 2 FILES DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:XCE.DAT resource file for xce 2 BUGS This thing is pretty much hard-wired for 8-bit color displays with read/write colormaps. Bad things will probably happen on monochrome screens. 2 AUTHOR Andrew Peebles, Mips Computer Systems 2 VMS_PORT Patrick MOREAU, CENA/Athis-Mons, FRANCE , (pmoreau@ada.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr)
