I am curious if any progress made in solving this issue.  We are still
facing this problem.

Joel,Thanks for your response. I've also looked at the file
'locals.tcl' on thewindows end. It seems that the six placed hexidecimal
value is the color.Now I need to work out the colors.Regarding
background colors for bitmaps - all my bitmaps seem to have alight-grey
border; which is a lighter grey than my background color. Ipresume that
I can alter this in my fglprofile4 configuration.I have another problem
that I can't seem to find any documentation for, thatis displaying a
bitmap as a background image behind my forms. Any ideas?TIAJulieEnsemble

[email protected]: Re: [fourjs-users] Widget ColorsYes,
yes, we've encountered the same problem and that is a BIG annoyanceto
our users.  When you're not in input mode, widgets appear dark greyon
lighter grey.  There's not enough contrast and it's hard to read.Black
would be a better color for the text.  Make it look like a non-widget
field when it's not active: black on grey.The color/widget control
parameters seem to be on the PC side.  Theconfiguration program lets you
change a file called locals.tcl in yourwindows directory.  These
settings can control various parameters inthe form of   *<parameter>:
<value>Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything for the text color of
thewidgets.  There seems to be a file in your fourjs\cliwtk\fgl2c
directorycalled fgl2c.tcl that seems like it might control a lot of
theseparameters.  But I've tried modifications and haven't noticed
anyeffect.As for bitmaps on forms, I'm not that familiar with using
them, exceptfor button bitmaps.  BMP doesn't have a concept of a
"transparent color"as is used in other image formats like GIF89.  So,
I'm confused as towhat a background color would do.  Is the image inside
of an area andthe background is used as a border to the image if it's
smaller thanthe box?  Or does 4Js designate a color as a transparency
color inBMP files?  And wherever you use that color, it replaces it with
yourbackground color?J. Smith ([email protected]) wrote :> Does
