fP Color Editor

All it takes is three simple steps:

1. Make copy of the fp/lib directory for each user.
2. Set the user's environmental variable PFCONFIG to their directory.
3. Give your user access to this utility.

This utility can keep color selections as files called "color sets". They have a value for all color variables that filePro uses, plus dropshadow. There are 10 color sets included so that you can either use them right away or tweak them to your own taste.

The utility has three modes: Edit, File and Resolve.

Here is what the Edit Mode screen looks like:

Groups of colors can be saved in "color sets". All you have to do is decide on a filename, and do a "File" then "Save".

To see how the colors look together, you can select "Resolve". You will be shown a screen with assorted popups in the chosen colors. Here is the first screen.

Here is the second screen.

As a bonus, this utility will not allow the user to set the foreground and background colors to the same color (such as black on black). This won't stop them from setting text to light yellow on white or any other "hard to read" combination, but it does prevent the "impossible to read" color combinations.
