[WiX-users] Burn theme background colors strange
I am attempting to customize my burn windows to match the theme I have in my msi UI. I have created my there xml file from the RTFTheme.xml file in the wix source download (3.6). My problem is that when I attempt to change the background colors using hex values, they don't come up the right color. For example, hex 6495ED should be cornflower blue but the resulting color is more like coral. What do I need to do to get the colors to come out as I expect them to? Are these values not hex? -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
