- Color Configuration File DISKLEFT.CFG
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Colors are preconfigured, but may be changed to suit your taste in a
- configuration file, called DISKLEFT.CFG. This file must reside in the
- directory in which you install DISKLEFT.EXE (if running under DOS 3 or later),
- or in the current directory (under DOS 2).
-
- DISKLEFT.CFG is created if it is not found. DISKLEFT.CFG contains
- instructions to modify the default color set.
-
- This is the contents of the default file:
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────-┐
- │ SETCOLOR │
- │ 0,2,1,11,9,4,10,15,14 │
- │ │
- │ This is DISKLEFT's color configuration file. Only the first │
- │ two lines above are meaningful to the program. You may change │
- │ the values in them, using your favorite ASCII editor. Follow │
- │ the instructions below. The values represent: │
- │ │
- │ On line 1: │
- │ SETCOLOR or SETMONO (if you want to force monochrome) │
- │ │
- │ On line 2 (separated by commas, in the order listed): │
- │ Common background color │
- │ Fixed data areas │
- │ SUBSTituted/ASSIGNed Drives │
- │ Fixed drives │
- │ Network drives │
- │ Unavailable drives │
- │ Floppy drives │
- │ RAM drive │
- │ Grand total (shown only if you have network drives) │
- │ │
- │ The numbers on line 2 are color values and mean this: │
- │ │
- │ 0 Black 8 Grey │
- │ 1 Blue 9 Light Blue │
- │ 2 Green 10 Light Green │
- │ 3 Cyan 11 Light Cyan │
- │ 4 Red 12 Light Red │
- │ 5 Magenta 13 Light Magenta │
- │ 6 Brown 14 Yellow │
- │ 7 White 15 Bright White │
- │ │
- │ The only restriction imposed is the common background color │
- │ cannot be the same as any of the other colors. If this │
- │ occurs, the default colors will be set. │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────-┘
-
- NOTE: If you use the SETMONO option to force monochrome (or the /MONO command
- line option), your color choices will be ignored.
