formerly known as HTML Color Picker<\/p>\n

This little HTML-utility for Windows 95 is used to generate BODY-tags for your HTML-documents. You have then the possibility for saving your color selections in a colorscheme. RCB also supports tiled background images (note! only bmp’s). Remember that this program is Freeware what means you have unlimited right to use it.<\/p>\n

Newest release:<\/span>\u00a0RGB Color Box v1.4 August 13, 1996.\u00a0Download free copy now<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here follows a online guide to get started with RGB Color Box (even though Quick Help! has been added in version 1.2)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>To the right you see the main screen where all the action takes place. In the Tag Picker-window, you choose what tag you want to modify – options are : background, text, new link, visited link or active link. When you have chosen the tag, you can slide the bars in the Color Picker-window to hit the color you want. After you have made your mind you can click on the Generate Body Tag-button in the Body Tag-window. If you want to select a color from your windows default colors, you first choose which tag you want to give the color, and then you press Ctrl-P or select Tools, Windows Color Picker. If you want to have a background in you BODY-tag, then select the menu Tools, and then select Show Backgrounds?. Then you once again select the menu Tools and this time select the menuitem Load Background (or press Ctrl-L). A dialog box appears where you can choose a bmp-file you want to use as a background. When you selects OK in the dialog box the background is shown in the Sample Homepage-window.<\/p>\n

When you want to use your tag you click on the Generate Body Tag-button (if visible). Then you can either press Ctrl-T to copy the whole body tag or you can select all the text in the Body Tag-window and press Ctrl-C. Finally you can modify the text in the Body Tag-window (ex. delete the path for a picture), and the press Ctrl-T.<\/p>\n

If you have made a great scheme you want to reuse another time, then select the menu Schemes, and then Save A Scheme – or simply press Ctrl-S. Another dialog box will appears, where you have to give your color file a name. Remember that the extension hcp is added to the file if you don’t write it yourself. When you want to open a previously saved scheme you press Ctrl-O or select Schemes, Load A Scheme.<\/p>\n

Thanks to The Color Manipulation Device 2.0 from Flux for the inspiration.<\/p>\n
