Some dicking around with RGB on my part soon showed that the first number is whatever value from 0-255 you enter, the second value is the number times 256, and the third value is the number times 65536. Then you add the numbers up to get the result. For example: RGB(1,1,1) = 1 + (1*256) + (1*65536) = 65793 rgb(2,2,2) = 2 + (2*256) + (2*65536) = 131586 Etc. Should be pretty easy to reverse engineer it from there. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
