Question
InDesign -- All versions: fill color for dialog boxes
A while back I submitted a question to the forum on how I might change the color of a palette fill. The List graciously pointed me to this line in the palette resource description:
b resource DTRPanelWidget(kSDKDefPanelResourceID + index_enUS)
b {
b __FILE__, __LINE__, // Localization macro
b kAutoFormPanelWidgetID, // WidgetID
b kPMRsrcID_None, // RsrcID
b kBindNone, // Binding (0=none)
b // The smiley faces (if you see them) should be the number 8
b PANELLFT, PANELTOP(8), PANELRGT, PANELBOT(8), // Frame: l, t, r, b.
b kTrue, kTrue, // Visible, Enabled
b kTrue, // Erase background
b // This is the line
b kInterfaceBlueProgressBack, // Erase to color
b kFalse, // Draw dropshadow
b kAutoFormPanelTitleKey, // Panel name
b {
And then directed me to the following header for color choices:
b InterfaceColorDefines.h
The choices are limited, but this line about halfway down in the header leads me to believe that I can specify more:
b // NOTE: Add any custom K2 color enumerations below here:
The description at the top of the header also says that I should consult the Adobe UI guidelines for more information.
So my questions are two:
1.) Does anyone know how to add colors to this list, and how to make them, if needed?
2.) I looked for the Adobe UI Interface guidelines in the SDK docs and found nothing. Does anyone know where I can get this document? If disguised in the SDK documentation, what's its real name?
TIA!
