587.0. "Colors need display in Customize!" by NSSG::R_SPENCE (Nets don't fail me now...) Thu Jan 03 1991 19:14

    The "Customize Map" option needs to display the colors along with the
    names of the colors when seting colors for icons, lines, and especially
    for alarms.
    
    Setting these colors for the alarms can be especially tiresome as you
    have to;
    
    	- pick some colors
    	- save them
    	-exit DECmcc
    	- re-enter DECmcc
    	- open domain
    	- enable alarms
    	- wait for them to fire
    	- look at the colors
    	- evaluate and attempt to guess which color will be better
    	- go to step one
    
    This can take days!!!
    
    Also, it wasn't clear to me that Dim Grey would be darker than Grey
    for example. Without being able to see them, the user has no idea what
    they are going to see.

	Rob,

	Of course you're right.

	We just  plain  didn't  have time to do it as right as we would
	have liked to in V1.1

	You can bet we'll re-visit this as we begin V1.2

	Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

	JCE
