Color names for variations of gray color

It is correct that many shades of gray are the same, but you are right that gray1 and gray17 should be rather different. The colour names that you find in LiveCode are X11 color names. The names can't be changed, but apparently the colours they refer to in LiveCode are sometimes incorrect.You can read more about X11 colours, particularly shades of gray, on Wikipedia. It should be easy to correct this:
Code: Select all
setProperty x11Gray[theColorProperty] theName
repeat while the last char of theName is a number
put the last char of theName before theNum
delete the last char of theName
end if
put theNum*255/100 into myColorItem
put "set" && theColorProperty && "of the target to" && myColorItem,myColorItem,myColorItem into myScript
do myScript
end setPropetyCode: Select all
set the x11Gray["backColor"] of grc 1 to gray10Mark
