Defining Colors:

Applet Composer includes a color picker for selecting colors and defining them. To use the Applet Composer Color Picker:

 

1. Press the build button for the appropriate color filed to activate the color picker window.

 

2. Place your mouse in the rainbow. Press and hold the left mouse button while dragging the mouse around the rainbow box. Release the button when you've found the color you want. A representation of the selected color appears in the decision box found in the upper right hand corner of the Color Picker. Applet Composer maintains any previously selected colors to the left of the decision box for reference.

 

3. Select a saturation level. Place your mouse in the Vertical Color Saturation Window found to the left of the rainbow box. Press and hold the left mouse button while dragging the mouse up and down the saturation window. Release the button when you've found the saturation you want.

 

4. When you've found the color you want, select "OK". The color you have defined will be placed in the calling field and updated in your applet implementation.
