Ok FOLKS here is how to get some funky colours for those of you that dont do Hexadecimal.

Â· Open up the Microsoft Paint package

Â· Click on Colors

Â· Click on Edit Colors

Â· Click on Define Custom Colors

Â· You will see a largish box with all the colours of the rainbow in, click on the area of the colour that you fancy using.

Â· Now to the right of this box you will see a narrow column with a selction of colours like the area you have just clicked on. Click in this column on the exact colour you want.

Â· Below this colum there are several boxes with values in.

Â· These boxes are RED GREEN BLUE

Â· Now open up the Calculator application and change it to Scientific mode.

Â· Enter the value for RED into it in decimal and then click on the hex button. Note down the value.

Â· Repeat this step for GREEN and BLUE also.

Â· NOTE, if it returns a 1 charcter value for any of the colours in hexadecimal then proceed the answer with a zero.

Now if you enter these 6 digits that you have arrived at as your C O L O U R then this forum should become very colourful.

steady with the language Greg, sorry it had to be altered.

CB · Post by CB » Sun Jul 21, 2002 12:00 am

Wow! My first taste of moderation! Too be honest, i thought Lyndons rude-word editor would alter it for me, like when you type 'Arsenal' or 'Arsene Wenger'!!

(and don't forget Rob - you posted a topic entitled 'Holy S**t'!!!!!

)
