A slightly easier way to calculate the colour values (in windows) is to use the calculator: Enter Red value, mult by 256, add Green value, mult by 256, add Blue value = result. (Saves having to remember that 256 x 256 = 65536) :-)) Cheers, Diolma (Not that I could forget - I've been a a programmer for more years than I care to remember.. <256 though..)
