| Allegro CL version 6.2 Minimally revised from 6.1 |
Arguments: system
Returns the default-palette-vector of system. The current system is
the value of *system*
. This is a color vector
shared by the texture-infos of many Allegro pixmaps for efficiency.
It contains the following sixteen colors (see white
, which links to the other
colors):
0 black 1 dark-red 2 dark-green 3 dark-yellow 4 dark-blue 5 dark-magenta 6 dark-cyan 7 light-gray 8 gray 9 red 10 green 11 yellow 12 blue 13 magenta 14 cyan 15 white
An application pixmap that uses these 16 colors in this order could
use this color vector in the colors slot of the texture-info
used with the pixmap
in order to reduce the total number of color vectors needed by the
application. Pixmap-creating programs such as the Paint applet may
create pixmaps that use this color order or a similar one that could
be edited to this one.
An additional advantage of using default-palette-vector is that Allegro automatically changes the vector's gray entry to the system-edge-shadow-color, the light-gray entry to the system-dialog-background-color, and the white entry to the system-background-color. This means that button pixmaps using this color vector will automatically appear in the custom colors that the end user has set up in the Windows Control Panel.
default-palette-vector is a
property of the system
class.
