How to have more basic colors for choosing in color dialog? [modified]
-
By default there are 8x6 colors for choosing. How to make it more? This is the need of the customers, they would like the program be easy to use. If it is not easy, I'd like to make one myself, but I can't decide how to choose and put colors so that it can look a little good.

Pretty vague question :) Are you referring to the "color dialog box" common dialog? If so, then like any other dialog, if you need additional functionality you can write your own. Mark

And using more than 48 colors makes the program easy to use? Wow, are they brain dead?

Especially since it lets the user pick one of 2^24 colors :)

There are 48 basic colors, but there are 2563 total colors.

What a question!

Sure. The key is when the customer is choosing a color for background, a set of well-selected colors may be better than all here.
Heh yeah, but if you put 1000 basic colors, I bet you still won't have my favorite blue. How do you decide how many is enough? :) Mark
