Ha! Rank! Privilege! (that means that whenever there's a bill to pay I'm the one to pay it, right?) > this website has a nice search engine which can be used as a starting point: > http://www.colourlovers.com/ > > for instance, here are some example palettes, from which we can take > only certain colors: > http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/617935/Dutch_Seas > http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/1253503/shifting_sands_sea I looked at these and many others and nothing seemed to work. So I started with the two colors used for the gradient in our logo and modified their saturation and value, keeping the hue intact. By playing with this I came up with something that works fairly well for me. And falling back on the Rank! and Privilege! comment earlier I pushed a patch that made this the new default colors. My apologies, this messes with existing settings as I want this to be index 0 (default) and inserting this new index at the beginning causes the stored settings to now be changed. Um. Bad. Oh well. You have been warned. > i guess we can bundle something like 3-4-5 color schemes as a start. We now have three. BTW: when playing around with setting the colors, looking at things, going back, hitting apply, cancel, etc I several times managed to have a color (or in one case two colors) reset to #000000 (black). So there is something fishy here, but I'm not able to give you a deterministic set of steps to reproduce this :-( Anyway, please take a look at the latest master... I'll kick of daily builds... /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
