Working with Color Buttons

Applets often require color parameters in the form of hexadecimal values. The Configuration Dialog simplifies this work for you by having a special color button component where you can pick or compose your color.

Color buttons simplifies the specification of colors.

When clicking the button, the component enlarge and you have access to a palette. The rightmost element at the bottom is always the custom color that you specify. You may enter the Red, Green and Blue values yourself directly into the fields or just move the sliders in the color bars. Every tree slider always points at the same color, which changes if you move one of the other sliders. Note that the palettes change color too. You close the color button by clicking on the "OK" button.
