Omnis color palette

[David Swain]

Hi Dawid,

<Oops! After writing this (here I am top-responding to my own unsent  
message), I see that you are only using version 3.2.1! Still, this  
could add a reason to upgrade your software...>

You could find a few hints about using the Color Palette control in an  
article I wrote for Omnis Tech News back in 2004 titled "Colors in  
Omnis Studio Version 4". You can access the article at:

http://www.omnis.net/technews/050604/

While I haven't covered *everything* in Omnis Studio, it is often  
worth a look at the list of articles on my OmnisTraining.com web site  
at:

http://www.omnistraining.com/

and then click on the "Omnis Tech News articles" link on the left side.

Regards,

David
