PROGRAM:
NAME
xcolmix - an RGB colour mixer
SYNOPSIS
xcolmix [-display host:dpy] [-name appname] [-visual class] [-depth d] [-private]
[-shared] [-stdcmap] [-debug d] [-sync] rgb-database-file
The rgb-database-file is the file which holds the X-windows colour definitions, when
absent: /etc/X11/rgb.txt is used.
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xcolmix, command. This manual page was written for
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual
page.
xcolmix is a colour mixer that enables you to mix your own colours in order to determine
three values (the R/G/B code, or red-green-blue mix) of a colour. You can use those
colours to, e.g., define the foreground or background of X applications which support it.
Furthermore, xcolmix lets you retrieve RGB values from the X system's database of
`predefined' colours.
xcolmix is non longer actively maintained upstream. If you would like to take it over,
talk to the author: Karel Kubat <[email protected]>.
OPTIONS
xcolmix is built with the XForms Graphical User Interface Toolkit for X, and hence
supports a number of flags which are interpreted by XForms. The flags must be stated
before any file arguments, and are:
-display host:dpy
defines the X display.
-name appname
defines the application name (default is xcolmix).
-visual class
TrueColor, PseudoColor etc...
-depth d
visual depth in bits
-private
forces a private colourmap.
-shared
forces a shared colourmap.
-stdcmap
forces a standard colourmap.
-debug l
prints debugging information, l is the level.
-sync forces synchronous mode.
USING XCOLMIX
Xcolmix lets you define a separate background and a foreground colour for a part of the
mixer window (the logo). Use this logo to, e.g., compare whether a particular text colour
looks good on a particular background.
Use the `foreground / background' buttons to select between the foreground or the
background. Then, use the three silders labelled `red', `green' and `blue' to change the
colour.
The button `lookup' starts a second window, with a browser showing the system colour
database. The default database name is /etc/X11/rgb.txt, though you can overrule this
filename with a file argument in the command that starts up xcolmix.
