Part Identifiers for ColorSpec Records

To specify the color for part of a window, you use a ColorSpec record in the ctTable field of a window color table record; see "The Window Color Table Record" for details. To specify the window part, you specify one of these values in the partIdentifier field of the ColorSpec record:

enum {
    wContentColor           = 0,    /* content rgn background */
    wFrameColor             = 1,    /* window outline */
    wTextColor              = 2,    /* window title and
                                    /* button text */
    wHiliteColor            = 3,    /* reserved */
    wTitleBarColor          = 4,    /* reserved */
    wHiliteColorLight       = 5,    /* lightest stripes in
                                    /* title bar & lightest
                                    /* dimmed text */
    wHiliteColorDark        = 6,    /* darkest stripes in
                                    /* title bar and
                                    /* darkest dimmed text */
    wTitleBarLight          = 7,    /* lightest parts of
                                    /* title bar background */
    wTitleBarDark           = 8,    /* darkest parts of */
                                    /* title bar background */
    wDialogLight            = 9,    /* lightest element
