Hi Ricardo

Maybe the win32dib library can help there?  It can load images and you can
easily access the dib image memory to make manipulations, then save the image.

A program which can do it is IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.de/).

Do you mean http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=SetSysColors ?

No, it is system side, but see below.

Don't get your hopes up too high, but I translated an m$ example to Eu. It does
a good job on Explorer, the trouble is that most programs such as Opera (and
Edita) do not display things using system colours very often, so the effect is
much more limited. Anyway, worth a spin just for a laugh:

include dll.e
include machine.e
include get.e
constant user32=open_dll("user32.dll"),
	 xGetSysColor=define_c_func(user32,"GetSysColor",{C_INT},C_INT),
xSetSysColor=define_c_func(user32,"SetSysColors",{C_INT,C_POINTER,C_POINTER},C_INT),
	 pDspElements=allocate(4*19),
	 pRGBValues=allocate(4*19)

sequence Csave
object void

    Csave=repeat(0,19)
    for i=0 to 18 do
	Csave[i+1]=c_func(xGetSysColor,{i})
    end for
    for i=0 to 18 do
	poke4(pDspElements+i*4,i)
	poke4(pRGBValues+i*4,rand(#FFFFFF))
    end for
    void = c_func(xSetSysColor,{19,pDspElements,pRGBValues})
    puts(1,"press any key to reset")
    if wait_key() then end if
    poke4(pRGBValues,Csave)
    void = c_func(xSetSysColor,{19,pDspElements,pRGBValues})

Thanks, Pete, it worked fine.
However, this was only part of what I wanted to do.
Colors whitin the window are not modified.
Do you think it is possible to do that, for any page,
so that what is usually seen as red shows as yellow, etc.?

By the way, I don't really know how to deal with DLLs.
Where can I find an explanation? I know how to program in C,
but only at the applicaton level.
Moreover, where can I get a description of the other routines in user32.dll?
One thing that recently I wondered how is it done is how some programs
intercept the Ctrl-C call to the clipboard, and then manage to store
the clipboard contents in a file. Can this be done with some system dll?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi, Pete. I'm not very profficient at colloquial Englis. That's why I don't
understand this:

http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pss.gif
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mss.gif

BTW, which one of the above does my page look like to you?
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/euphoria.html

Also, who is JL?
JL says he can do, I wouldn't mind seeing this as well.

Regards.

Hi Pete.
You wrote:

I am assuming that it is mostly the web browser you want to change, right?

This may be an option.
But what I was thinking originally was that the video signals going to
the screen could be changed on their way, for example manipulating the
bits representing the color code. This could be done under old DOS by
intercepting some interrupts, but it seems that this is no more possible
under Windows.
Thanks again. I think this subject is now closed.
