Thank you - I will see if the article can be changed (it has already been sent).
I'll add this to the information in the Colour Themes zip file on my website when I get a moment. > I have also patched (for my own use so far) EasyPTR's AppMan4.

I think that most people using System Palettes only really use number 0 at the moment, but hopefully that will change over time. I got to use a program Marcel wrote to patch colours some time ago. Unfortunately, I've misplaced it - I had hoped to try to use it to patch some older programs of mine to see what could be made of them. It's one of the great things about GD2 and Wman2 that programs can be written to look so consistent with each other - Easyptr 4 for example makes it so easy. I don't know how much of a great task it was for Marcel to write Wman 2 and Easyptr 4 (he probably wants to forget it!) but I am SOOOO glad he did! -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
