That's the beauty of using these symbolic color constants -- no matter what color scheme the user chooses from the control panel, your application will match. Of course, it's best to use the colors in appropriate places. You also have to rely on your user not coming up with their own novel, awful-looking color schemes -- but if they do, all their applications will look bad, not just yours. -- Larry
