OSDMenu (Color doesn't work right?)

[zacK!]

Hey folks!
I am currently desiging my desktop and tools like miranda blue, because I just downloaded Winamp 5( totally awesome!!!!!) and I really LOVE the new blue skin!.
My problem is, that I want to use OSDMenu with the same Color. But when I use the "Hex" value of the RGB colors the color just is not right.
Could someone please tell me the $3578494 (this is just an example, because I don't know the english word for it) for the blue of the following example?

sorry, I forgot:
Of course I need a 2nd blue for the selected items, so it would be nice, if someone could tell me the value for this blue as well:

Maruspial is the OSD Menu expert - hopefully he will see this and let you know how to do it.

within OSD menu, it is not RGB, but BGR if I'm right.

the colors are somewhat non-standardly coded.

I can be wrong, and I'll try to verify when I'm at home, but I think that is the trick: switch the first and last 2 digit

i.e. if the color you want is 2244EE you need to specify EE4422
if it is 123456 you want to write 563412
and so on.

give it a try.

the numbers you want are:
$7d3d1b
and
$c98967

to make these numbers yourself is quite easy open up windows calculator and switch it to scientific mode, enter the blue value of the colour you want (eg 125) and click on hex and it will give you the hex value (eg 7D), repeat this for green and red and put the three numbers one after another (eg BBGGRR) and you will have the hex value for your colour

Thanks Mars and birty

the colors are somewhat non-standardly coded
this is the way windows normally handles colours

[Marsupial]

isn't it normally RGB as in (red, green, blue) while this one is BGR (blue, green, red)?

[birty]

as far as i know in windows red is always stored as the lower order 8 bits and green in the next 8 and blue in the last 8 which is RGB so when you write it out it comes out as BGR.

Yeah windows is backward internally, with respect to colors I mean ;-)

[birty]

although html having nothing to do with windows dos things the otherway round, you will probably find that windows (being microsoft) does things this way just to be different
