| 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. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Active | Shaded |
| 17 | Dark | Light | Dark | Light |
| 18 | | | | |
| 19 | Normal: [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| 20 | | | | |
| 21 | Group box: [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | |
| 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. |
