Previewing Color Schemes
Preview your color schemes in a variety of formats
You can preview your color schemes in a variety of formats including printable reports, html preview pages and XSL transformations. All previews are fully customizable, but if you can't find what you're looking for you can easily create your own. You can even import your own web pages and preview them in alternative color schemes!
Printable Reports
Preview Colors in Printable Reports
ColorCache automatically generates printable, on-line versions of your pallets and color swatches for distribution to colleagues and customers, or for display on your website. These can be viewed in your default browser. You can choose to display either the currently active palette or all palettes in the current set in a printable report.
To display a report select either:
" Export Current Palette to Browser"
OR
"Export All Palettes to Browser"
from the 'Export' section of the 'File' menu.
The selected report will be displayed in your default browser.
Customizing Printable Reports
ColorCache generates its HTML printable reports from .XSL templates. You will find the templates in the 'stylesheets' folder in the ColorCache installation directory. Modify the template 'Palette.xsl' to control the appearance of on-line palettes. Modify the template 'PaletteSet.xsl' to control the appearance of on-line palette collections.

If you need any help with modifying your templates please visit the ColorCache support forums.
WARNINGS
- Modification of templates requires some knowledge of XSL. Always back up your templates before attempting any modifications.
- If you install a later version of ColorCache (or repair/reinstall an existing version), your modified templates will be overwritten. Be sure to take backups first!
Using XSL to create complex charts and previews
If you have .XSL skills you can write .XSL stylesheets to transform ColorCache's XML output into complex charts, previews and displays.
