Norton Commander Color Editor, Version 1.0 Symantec Corporation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NC Color Editor (NCCE) allows you to change colors within the Norton
Commander, version 3.0 and later. There are four different color regions
that can be changed within NCCE. (Black and White, Laptop, Color1 and Color2)
You can run NCCE from anywhere on your system as long as both NC and NCCE are
in your path, or your current working directory. NC Color Editor will first
look in your working directory for NCMAIN.EXE, and then in your path
environment variable.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--------------------
Usage: NCCOLOR [color] [region] [noback] [restore] [reset] [?]
[color] - The Norton Commander Color Editor comes with these six
pre-defined color settings:
Default1 - These color settings match the shipping colors under
the NC Color1 setting.
Default2 - These color settings match the shipping colors under
the NC Color2 settings.
Spring - These color settings contain bright, spring time
colors. Green and purple dominate your screen.
Summer - These color settings contain summer time colors.
Aqua and purple dominate your screen.
Fall - These color settings contain fall time colors.
Brown, blue and black dominate your screen.
Winter - These color settings contain Winter Holiday colors.
Red and Green dominate your screen.
[region] - The Norton Commander, Version 4.0 comes with four different
color settings. (B&W, Laptop, Color1 and Color2) Version 3.0
of NC has three different color settings. (B&W, Laptop and
Color) Use the following command line options to select what
color regions you want edited: (These color regions can also
be selected within the NC Color Editor)
B&W (Black and White)
Laptop
Color1
Color2 (Norton Commander 4.0)
[noback] - Using the NOBACK switch will stop The Norton Commander Color
Editor from making a backup copy of NCMAIN.EXE when it writes
the color changes. By default, NCCE makes a backup of NCMAIN.EXE,
writes the changes, verifies the changes, and if everything
verifies properly, deletes the backup copy of NCMAIN.EXE. If
the verification fails, NCCE restores the backup copy and gives
the appropriate error messages. Possible reasons for wanting to
use NOBACK are very limited disk space, and the time it takes to
backup NCMAIN.EXE.
[restore] - Using the RESTORE switch will restore the latest color changes
made. NCCE stores the latest color changes in a file called
NCCOLOR.CLR. Possible reasons for using the RESTORE switch
include program upgrades or re-installations, or recovery from
the RESET command line option.
It is also possible to save your favorite color changes to a file
for later use. After saving the changes with NCCE, just rename
the NCCOLOR.CLR file to the name of your choice. If you later
want to restore these colors, rename the file back to NCCOLOR.CLR
and run NCCE with the RESTORE command line option.
( ex: NCCOLOR RESTORE )
[reset] - Using the RESET switch will reset all color setting to their
original shipping state. Use this if you just want to start over
from scratch.
[?] - Using the ? command line switch will give you a command line
help screen.
COMMAND LINE EXAMPLES
---------------------
NCCOLOR COLOR1 SPRING - This will change the colors under the Color1
setting to the pre-defined Spring colors.
NCCOLOR SUMMER NOBACK - This will change the colors under the Color1
settings to the pre-defined Summer colors.
If a color region is not specified at the
command line, NCCE defaults to the Color1
region. Also, because of the NOBACK switch,
NCCE will not backup NCMAIN.EXE.
NCCOLOR RESET - This will change all color regions to their
initial shipping state.
ANTI-VIRUS ALERTS
-----------------
If you are using an Anti-virus program that scans executables for unknown
viruses, you might get an alert box with NCMAIN.EXE. NCCE changes the
colors within The Norton Commander by patching values into NCMAIN.EXE. If
you should get an alert for the file NCMAIN.EXE, just rescan the file.
