Customizing the DOKA User Interface via TDSKIN.INI


The color values in DOKA are made up of the RGB colors.
Some examples can be found in the Trade2 Module Explorer under 'Options - Parameter - Styles'.

To define colors, 'Select Color' has to be selected. All colors are available under this option. Due to technical reasons, the values have to be mirrored (inverted).

Example (the color red):

RGB = 255.0.0
BGR = 0.0.255

The BGR values have to be converted to hexadecimal number. Suitable converters or tables can be found in the Internet.

Thus, the color red has the following hexadecimal value:
#0000FF

When using

“DefaultPanelBkgColor=$0000FF”

the background of the standard panels would be red.
