Hi Antonio,

Yes, entering in #0F0F0F for a color for a button will make
the button look black, because there is no 'button color checker'
yet (next version).  There is also no 'gamma' correction for
very dark buttons (next version).  This means if you enter a
very very dark color (like 0) the button will look black and
will appear to not be hot tracking (even though it is).
The problem with dark colors is that the hot track color
needs to be much lighter then when the color luminosity is
near neutral (#808080).
If you select a color from one of the 'custom colors' boxes
in the color dialog box (edit button) you'll see it works ok.
I've already implemented a way to check color and to adjust
the gamma so the hot track color always looks good.

Thanks for bringing this up...i'll try to get it into that version
too so it works better.

Im not ready with the next newer version yet but i can add some
stuff in 4.02 still that will greatly enhance the button colors.

Thanks again!


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
