(...) Like me. Which is why I'm not a good person for making comments on the colours in this thread but am a good person to make comments about edge lines. Tim PS. It's 1 in 24 persons to be precise but I know what you mean ;) (16 years ago, 22-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks Jaco for this hint. The above lines are all the lines that are not the same the standard MLCad colors. And in this case this are really standard MLCad color. MLCad has a build in check for colors. So we can change the MLCad.cfg, to what (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

Hi all, I've been experimenting with these new colors and configuration files. I am however now ending up with these lines of code once I edit a file in MLCad: 0 COLOR 64 Bright_Light Blue 0 208 255 255 255 208 255 255 255 0 COLOR 65 Bright_Light (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If you use the above mentioned calculation, you get a color value that represents a gray color with the same brightness than the color itself. I also feel that the 50% value (127) is not a good value. It should be maybe at 40, if we do use a (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Yeah I agree that Gray and Dark_Gray only work on the very darkest of colors like Black or Dark_Brown. Unless someone wants to spend a lot of time customizing an edge for each color, I'd recommend setting a dividing break point at which to (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hmmm ... where do these values come from? I changed the edge line using this calculation and used a 50% Gray for the lighter edge and pitch black for a dark edge (applied only to the first row, the rest is still #1F1F1F). IMHO it looks AWFUL (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Definitely not! You should hear me and my wife 'quarrel' if a color is blue or green. We have very different perception of that border line... Only ~8% of males (< 1% for females) are red-green 'color blind', but that still means 1 out of 12 (...) (16 years ago, 20-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
