$iconcolor - Omnis 10 through 11.1

[Doug Easterbrook]

Hi MIchael:

it is good that lvIconColour is 32 bit integer.  


but what value is it?    Colours are typically a large negative number


and which version of Omnis are you talking about?

If you use constants like kRed, do you get red??



I’ve had some rare issues with colours in Studio 11 compared to 10.    I always have issues if I calculate a colour into 64 integer as it goes positive and thats not what the omnis rendering engine is looking for.


just a stab in the dark.
