Colour Examples
by Kei/Carnage After messing around with The Word's background palette over these last few issues we've finally found one we like and have updated TWAT accordingly. However, it causes clashes with any articles formatted for the old background pallete so this file has been updated to give you some ideas about colour codes rather than you sitting there thinking up hex numbers that may look good only to discover that they clash with the background or become hard to read. A tip when trying to find colour codes that best suit your article is to load up your favourite text editor, then go to a shell prompt, change directory to where ever your articles to be edited are located, type TWAT, and press LAMIGA+A to get back to workbench, use LAMIGA+M to locate your text editor, then just use LAMIGA+A to switch between the file you are editing and TWAT so you can see how your article will look in The Word when finished. Anyways, here are some colour examples along with their codes.
