Okay, thanks for the information. This is what I've found in GTWVT, which also confirms it: --- #define BLACK RGB( 0x0 ,0x0 ,0x0 ) #define BLUE RGB( 0x0 ,0x0 ,0x85 ) #define GREEN RGB( 0x0 ,0x85,0x0 ) #define CYAN RGB( 0x0 ,0x85,0x85 ) #define RED RGB( 0x85,0x0 ,0x0 ) #define MAGENTA RGB( 0x85,0x0 ,0x85 ) #define BROWN RGB( 0x85,0x85,0x0 ) #define WHITE RGB( 0xC6,0xC6,0xC6 ) #define LIGHT_GRAY RGB( 0x60,0x60,0x60 ) #define BRIGHT_BLUE RGB( 0x00,0x00,0xFF ) #define BRIGHT_GREEN RGB( 0x60,0xFF,0x60 ) #define BRIGHT_CYAN RGB( 0x60,0xFF,0xFF ) #define BRIGHT_RED RGB( 0xF8,0x00,0x26 ) #define BRIGHT_MAGENTA RGB( 0xFF,0x60,0xFF ) #define YELLOW RGB( 0xFF,0xFF,0x00 ) #define BRIGHT_WHITE RGB( 0xFF,0xFF,0xFF ) --- So the story is that Peter Rees just copied these to WIN32PRN little test app, and I copied those constants from test app to central header at one point. IOW they were never meant to be "general" colors for the Windows or Windows printing subsystem. Case closed! [ Anyway if someone wants to use original MS-DOS-era RGB values, here they are. ] Brgds, Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
