Global Colors

The default colors of certain standard items displayed in the EUS Toolkit environment are specified by global strings in the configuration file. Applications developed with the EUS Toolkit inherit the colors specified in these global strings as defaults. Use of these parameters is optional, and if not specified, the EUS Toolkit uses its internal defaults.

Global Colors take numeric arguments that correspond to the color codes shown in Color Codes.
