customdraw color question

[Guest ridgell]

what is the story on custom draw colors?i use #ac3628 and get apple red, but the same value in; CustomDraw Name="fs9gps:rose" and i get a blueish color. is there a factor by which the custom draw colors are different from colors used in strings?

Did you try "0xac3628" instead? Strings can work with html-colour code (#....), whereas most CustomDraws need direct hex-syntax 0x....

thanks for the responce.yes i did. here are 2 snipets, 1st the custom draw, and then the string. while the values are the same i get 2 different colors. (L:hudcolor,enum) 0 == if{ 0xac3628 } (L:hudcolor,enum) 1 == if{ 0x00ff00 } (L:hudcolor,enum) 2 == if{ 0xffffff }+

#.. and 0x.. are different syntaxes. It is #rrggbb, but it is 0xbbggrr. You should use 0x2836ac, maybe both times to avoid irritation.

thanks! i did not know the reverse trick. my other colors ooffoo and ffffff were palindromes so i did get the reversal.
