WINDOWS

Summary:

The user can control the color that the Microsoft Windows Help

application uses to display hypertext strings by using the JumpColor

and PopupColor settings in the [Windows Help] section of the WIN.INI

file. The JumpColor setting specifies the color for context strings,

and the PopupColor setting specifies the color for definition strings.

Both settings use the following syntax:

setting=(r,g,b)

where r, g, and b are decimal values in the range 0 to 255 that

specify a color value as a red-green-blue (RGB) triplet.

For example:

[Windows Help]

JumpColor=(128,0,0) ; produces red context strings

PopupColor=(0,128,128) ; produces cyan definition strings

The default color for both types of hypertext strings is green.

The Windows Help Compiler documentation in the Microsoft Windows

Software Development Kit (SDK) discusses context and definition

strings in more detail.
