- You need to edit win.ini to do this. In the [Windows Help] section you can
- add
-
- JumpColor=r g b
- PopUpColor=r g b
-
- where "r", "g" and "b" are the RGB values of the colours you want.
-
- Does anyone known how an application can find out the current values for these
- colours. I've been calling GetProfileString to read win.ini but there must be
- a better method.
