You should be able to just set it to bgcolor="lz.colors.iceblue4" -
constraints shouldn't be required. Also note that colors aren't in
global[] anymore - use lz.colors[''] instead.

So, I'm working on fixing one of the color dguide examples. The
description on the doc page (docs/developers/color.html) reads:
-----
To specify any color but the 16 which are usable by name, use 0xFFFFFF
hex codes. Alternatively, the non-standard colors named in
|lps/components/base/colors.lzx| were added to OpenLaszlo's global
namespace. Those colors can also be employed by name, but note the
${constraint} syntax around the bgcolor specification. There are two
ways to make the constraint: |bgcolor="${global['iceblue1']}"| is the
same as |bgcolor="${iceblue1}"|.

The example this describes is:
-----
<canvas debug="true">
<simplelayout axis="x" spacing="10"/>
<class name="box1" width="100" height="100" bgcolor="${global['gold4']}" />
<class name="box2" width="100" height="100" bgcolor="${iceblue1}" />
<box1 id="sun">
<text text="Sun"/>
</box1>
<box2 id="mystic">
<text fgcolor="0xFFFFFF" text="Mystic"/>
</box2>
</canvas>
-----
Thing is, the only way to get the example to work is to change
bgcolor="${iceblue1}" to bgcolor="${lz.colors.iceblue1}", and trying to
use the global['gold4'] syntax doesn't actually work. So my question
is: Is the description in the documentation wrong? Because doing it
the way the description states results in a Debugger error. (Keep in
mind I'm using the docs on openlaszlo.org, since I can't build locally,
so if the description has already been changed, let me know and I won't
file the bug, but I do need to fix the example. What I need to know
then is, what is the new way of doing this?)
Thanks!
