Dialog Box - called from: Settings Menu
The Palette is used to set up a 256-color palette for 8-bit screen display or raster output, and also to set the primary choices for color in all cases (you can always select other colors using different RGB values). See Colors, Palettes and Dot Patterns for more detail. The default Main palette has the same RGB values as the "alternate" palette used in DOS versions of ATOMS, but rearranged to a more logical order.
You can read and write values to palette (.PAL) files. Two palettes are provided on file: STANDARD.PAL and ALTERNATE.PAL, which are respectively the standard IBM palette and the default alternate palette used in DOS versions of ATOMS. It is easy to write or modify the.PAL files directly; they simply contain the RGB values, from 0 to 255, separated by spaces (or commas).
The Default button will reset the palette to the current default values.
