\c[x] (where x is some number between 0 and 8 inclusive) to turn the text after that a different colour. Those colours, unfortunately, aren't the best and they're not easy to work with (as of v17.2).This resource is a rewrite of the method which generates these colours. It has these results:
- The colour codes are now easier to work with, as they are in standard RGB format rather than the fiddly 15-bit four-digit format.
- The existing colour shades have been tweaked and improved.
- Four new colours have been added (
\c[9]through\c[12]). - Improved support for dark windowskins, as now the base and shadow colours are swapped for dark backgrounds, making them look a bit nicer.
- 1 = Blue
- 2 = Red
- 3 = Green
- 4 = Cyan
- 5 = Magenta
- 6 = Yellow
- 7 = Grey
- 8 = White
- 9 = Purple
- 10 = Orange
- 11 = Light Blue
- 12 = Pink
