Hi All,

My puzzlement has persists.

In ResEdit we can specify 5 *custom* ALRT window colors that are
stated to be resectively for:

    Content, Frame, Highlight, Title text, Titlebar

These specifications are written into an 'actb' resource 
having the same number as the ALRT.  The info is there!

Curiosity: To my eyes, only the Content and Frame colors
are shown at all in the ResEdit *WYSIWYG* environment. Am I
missing something?

At minimum I would like to see in FB programs the Content and
Frame colors realized as ResEdit *WYSIWYG* suggests they should be.

For the content, Jamin gave a voodo solution:-

<< create an "alrx" resource that is the same ID as your "ALRT"
resource (eg: 128). In this resource put 13 nulls, so the
resource should be 13 bytes long. >>

Now what solution for the "Frame" color????

As for realizing costomisation of the other 3 in any way 
whatsoever, I have no clue.

On the other hand, concerning the quite important "Title text"
color Jamin states:

<< Text colour /font/etc  is done with 'ictb' resources >>

Anyone have a crisp recipe?

Jamin also states:

<< I think window frame/window hilite colour is WDEF specific
(The WDEF must apply it - like the old System 7 WDEF with
coloured racing stripes) >>

This leaves me perplexed since there is no WDEF in my ALRT
context.

       Cheers

PS.  I adore the ResEdit programming interface, and I often
wonder why there are so few ResEdit addons.  More power to
Heather in making a new one!
