4 | The '3D' look of dialogue boxes in Straylight applications is |
5 | created by a module called 'Sculptrix'. This module is responsible |
6 | for drawing all the pushbuttons, group boxes, and other 3D borders |
7 | in the dialogue boxes. The Setrix application allows you to |
8 | configure the look of these borders to suit your individual tastes. |
9 | |
10 | To alter the appearance of Sculptrix's 3D borders, load the Setrix |
11 | application and click the icon which appears in the icon bar. |
12 | A dialogue box appears, showing various options. At the top is |
13 | a table laid out as shown in the diagram below. |

16 | Active | Shaded |
17 | Dark | Light | Dark | Light |

19 | Normal: [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
20 | | | | |
21 | Group box: [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
22 | |

24 | Each '[ ]' represents a coloured button in the dialogue box. These |
25 | buttons allow you to edit the colours used by Sculptrix in its |
26 | borders. |
27 | |
28 | To create the 3D effect, Sculptrix uses two colours: one darker |
29 | than the dialogue box background, and one lighter. These colours |
30 | are shown in the `Dark' and `Light' columns of the table. |
31 | |
32 | To help show that a dialogue box control is inactive, Sculptrix will |
33 | usually make the border fainter. Sculptrix will use the colours |
34 | shown in the 'Shaded' half of the table under these circtumstances. |
35 | |
36 | Finally, group boxes and separator bars may be drawn in different |
37 | colours to normal buttons: for example, you may want group boxes |
38 | to be dimmer than normal. The colours in the 'Group box' row are |
39 | used for this purpose. |
