Color schemas

How to use a color schema

It's a 1-2-3 procedure:

• pick a color schema down below
• copy the constants definitions
• paste them in the index.php file of your application, before the require p4a.php line

How to create a color schema

Manually

define('P4A_THEME_FG', '#4b718a'); // general foreground color (all texts in the mask)
define('P4A_THEME_BG', '#fafafa'); // background color for widgets (eg: toolbars)
define('P4A_THEME_BORDER', '#ccc'); // background color for widgets (eg: toolbars)

define('P4A_THEME_INPUT_FG', '#4b718a'); // foreground color for inputs
define('P4A_THEME_INPUT_BG', '#fff'); // background color for inputs
define('P4A_THEME_INPUT_BORDER', '#c6d3de'); // border color for inputs

define('P4A_THEME_SELECTED_FG', '#000'); // foreground color for selected elements
define('P4A_THEME_SELECTED_BG', '#e2e7ed'); // background color for selected elements
define('P4A_THEME_SELECTED_BORDER', '#c6d3de'); // border color for selected elements

define('P4A_THEME_TOOLTIP_FG', '#777'); // foreground color for tooltips
define('P4A_THEME_TOOLTIP_BG', '#fff'); // background color for tooltips
define('P4A_THEME_TOOLTIP_BORDER', '#c6d3de'); // border color for tooltips

define('P4A_THEME_EVEN_ROW', '#f4f7fa'); // background color for even rows
define('P4A_THEME_ODD_ROW', '#e2e7ed'); // background color for odd rows

Importing a gtkrc file

• download the gtkrc2p4a script
• run php gtkrc2p4a.php /path/to/your/gtkrc/file
• copy the output generated by the command above
• paste to the P4A application's index.php (before the require p4a.php line)
