Hello,

I finished the RGB-tool

--- Metro, dark and bright-colors from COLOR.ch
3. Adjust BRIGHTNESS. The original color is shown releated to a brightness-selection

5. A selected color creates a brightness-gradient with bottom = selected color and top = white
6. Easy create a GRADIENT.
--- select a color and define as 1. or 2. gradient-color

I can add optional a CIRCLE-gradient if needed, with a defined position top / left of the center-color



Visual-design of a CIRCLE-gradient moving the 1. gradient-color around.
top = 0 and left = 0, shows the 1. color centered.

Hello,

I finished the new release of the RGB-tool
( a better logic and handling than the old release )
The RGB-tool is completely rewritten.
It can handle all possible color-selections and shows the result as numeric or RGB-value.
Because of NON transparent using DIAGONAL, I only used square and circle

1. 3 color-support of building a square gradient ( New )
2. easy result-check using a template and compile a test
3. all colorselections using xBrowse
4. modify color light / dark from only one gradient-pick ( New )
5. display of all RGB- and color-values
6. New compile-template
7. All selections / values can be saved to a INI

There will be a extension in the next release, using a project-DBF ( like used in old releases )

Usage :
1. pick a color from one of the five possible solutions
-- The selected color will be displayed as
-- color-bmp, numeric and RGB-value
2. A calculation of bright or dark is included.
3. From the gradient white - selected color - black
-- You can adjust the color-brightness.
-- Use the button < use color > to accept the change
4. on the right/top You can activate 3 checkboxes for a selected color
-- to be used for the gradient-display
5. select a button for a preview of the square- or circle-gradient
6. From inside the preview You can adjust the gradient-position
7. The result is shown on the main-gradient
8. Save to INI to display the selections for the next start

Excellent
Thank you, Sir

[ukoenig]

Many new functions added.
I will include a new DOWNLOAD after some more tests

What's new :

1. added a project-manager
--- save any color and style to the project-DBF
2. switch / change the style of the Gradient-preview on main-dialog.
--- there are error-messages using wrong combinations :
--- sample1 : selected circle needs 2 colors. 1 or 3 selected colors displays a error-message
--- sample2 : selected gradient needs 2 or 3 colors. Only 1 defined color displays a error-message
--- sample3 : selected color needs only 1 color. More defined, displays a error-message
3. define at startup, if a color-set must be loaded from INI or project-DBF

The new functions :



The new PROJECT-EDIT
save any of Your selections as project to the DBF
a style can be changed and saved
The < select >-button shows the selection of a project on the main-dialog



Best Regards
Uwe

Added a new section TEXT
Now it is possible, to check the textcolor related to any created background.
The textcolor can be selected like the other colors.
Any ideas, adding still more ?



Added a new button, to display color and gradient-array.
Makes it easy copy and past values to Your application

Uwe
