Flying Colors 1.1 (FLYCOL11)
*Change the Windows system-colors to whatever you like*
Copyright (C) 1995 Natural Software Company
59-247 Ke Nui Road, Haleiwa, HI 96712
DESCRIPTION
Windows allows you to set the colors of various objects. However,
the colors must be chosen from a fixed palette of 16 (or 20)
colors which may not be changed.
Flying Colors 1.1 is a Windows add-on utility that lets you
change those palette-colors to anything you like. Color
Configurations may be saved as .FLY files which may be loaded
at any time.
Flying Colors comes with a lot of extras including a built-in
brightness (dimmer) control, a contrast control and several
complexion (tint) controls.
So give your tired eyes a rest, and liven up the Windows desktop
by creating and using your own color schemes.
INSTALLATION
Copy the files:
FLYINGC.EXE
FLYINGC.HLP
*.FLY
to any directory where you like to keep your stuff. The other files
are optional and may be deleted. However, you might like to save
README.TXT (this file) and/or ORDER.TXT for future reference.
Flying Colors may be started by running FLYINGC.EXE or by choosing
FLYINGC.EXE from the File Manager. Also, Flying Colors may be
started by running any Flying Colors' .FLY file. This will cause
the program to run and load the specified Color Configuration file.
Flying Colors may be added as an icon to a Program Manager group.
In Program Manager, click the "File" menu option, then "New", then
select "Program Item" and enter FLYINGC.EXE with its full path as the
new item. It is recommended that you add Flying Colors to your
"StartUp" group. This will cause Flying Colors to run every time that
Windows starts up.
