Re: [SLE] Adding color names to rgb.txt

Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good program for viewing a chart of the colors in rgb.txt? I've tried xcolors, and it's pretty bad. Among other things, the display is too long for the screen.
I hardly imagine that any program will be able to usefully display all colours in a single screen, and show their names as well. I do not know `xcolors', but maybe a useful tool would allow clicking on one little colored square among many others packed on a single screen, and replicate that color in a wider area, while giving its name only then. There might be another thing to consider, also. If you use a limited number of bit-planes (8 is rather common), colours may be rendered approximatively. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I guess I wasn't clear enough about the problem with xcolors. It doesn't have a scrollbar. If it did, seeing all the colors wouldn't be a problem. I have a hunch it's s truly ancient piece of software.
