Hello, Is there an X-tool in solaris that allows me to dial up different RGB values and see what text looks like on a background of another RGB value?
The situtation is that I'm using TightVNC to connect to a solaris8 box (www.tightvnc.com). I use the default 8-bit true color mode because I have difficulty with the flashiness of pseudocolor. I do not use more color planes because of bandwidth considerations, and due to stability (I haven't been able to successfully compile newer versions of TightVNC). But 8 bits is very coarse, so I have to tweak all my colors (I spend alot of time staring at gvim's syntax colorization). It would be very convenient if I could just dial in RGB values for background and text using sliders, then hard code it when I found a good one. Not only would it be useful for gvim, but also for twm. If I had two desktops, one as a window within another, I want my twm colors to be different for the two desktops. Other- wise, it's easy to lose track of which desk top an xterm or matlab window resides in. You can really mess up your work that way. Using sliders is especially handy when color quantization is coarse because you can muck around with command- line color settings forever. The colors don't respond well with very few bits each. With a slider, you can tell right away. Thanks.
