Yes, the color maps are actually seperate right now. Funny,
as I was responding to your first color messages, I was thinking that
was excessive, but now I'm glad it is the way it is.
A bit more detail. In gschem-[dark|light]bg there are lines like
this:
(graphic-color 3 "green4" "green4" "0 .54 0" 0 139 0)
Where:
graphic-color is the guile keyword
3 is the color index (don't change this *ever*)
The first string is the X color name
The second string is the outline X color name
The third string is the postscript color string (RGB between 0..1)
And the final 3 integers are the RGB values for PNG image files
I think that should provide enough flexiblity for the output. This scheme
is okay for two output formats, but doesn't scale too well for more than
two (i.e. if I had HPGL or direct SVG output). I might have generalize
the mechanism as the number of output formats grows (though it has been
at two for a long time now).
