0908 - Summary/Objective
0909 -
090901 - Follow up ref SDS 3 2616.
090902 -
090903 - Changed program color scheme and set up comprehensive Subject Index so
090904 - changes can be tracked more precisely.
090905 -
090906 - The new scheme has two primary color distinctions:
090907 -
090908 -      •  Screens with white background and black letters
090909 -
090910 -      •  Full report screens with black background and white letters.
090911 -
090912 - Current SDS records still use white background and blue letters. All
090913 - other distinctions are based on structure of the data.  Full Report
090914 - screens need clear color difference to make clear they are not actual
090915 - records.
090916 -

091301 - New Subject Index for SDS Color Scheme
091302 -
091303 - Today, I created a separate primary account under SDS v 3.0 for
091304 - planning and implementing color assignments to the various SDS
091305 - screens.
091306 -
091307 -                     03 00050 10 CC
091308 -
091309 - Background on early work for color scheme is reported on 920629, ref
091310 - SDS 11 1714.  This was reported under accounts:
091311 -
091312 -                     03 00050 02 06
091313 -                     03 00050 10 21
091314 -
091315 -       ...accunt 03 00050 10 21, has since been assigned to something
091316 -       else entirely, so I need to update records that used it for
091317 -       identifying work on color assignments.
091318 -
091319 - From concepts developed on 920927, ref SDS 1 2256, there has been
091320 - considerable work done over the years to get a color scheme that
091321 - accomplishes the following objectives:
091322 -
091323 -     a.  Easily readable in a variety of lighting conditions
091324 -
091325 -     b.  Distinguishes between Schedule, SDS records, reports and tools
091326 -         like Contacts, Subject Index and DMS. ref SDS 1 2256
091327 -
091328 - Major work was done for example in the record on
091329 -
091330 -                 921009. ref SDS 2 1024
091331 - ..
091332 - On 971120 I made a major change to the color scheme so that all
091333 - working records are now white with black letters, setcolor 1 112, ref
091334 - SDS 10 2896, except current SDS records remain white with blue
091335 - letters.
091336 -
091337 - This change resulted in all records looking the same.  It causes a
091338 - problem of being difficult to visually recognize when scrolling
091339 - between archived SDS records which are often in memory, and full
091340 - reports of SDS records, which have always been white with black
091341 - letters.  Summary reports are distinguishable because the format is
091342 - significantly different, so we don't need a different color scheme for
091343 - them.
091344 -
091345 -
091346 - Made Full Reports Black background with White Letters
091347 -
091348 - Therefore, in recent days, I changed all full report screens that
091349 - generally show SDS record content to be black with white letters.
091350 -
091351 -
091352 -
091353 - Record Segment Headers in Reports Black with Bright White Letters
091354 -
091355 - For simplicity and to save memory, I made the headers for all SDS
091356 - report screens black background with bright white letters.  The File
091357 - and Annotate fields can then be black with yellow letters.
091358 -
091359 -
091360 -
091361 - Medit Color Control
091362 -
091363 - Medit.asm line 430, ref OF 1 3812, establishes the default color
091364 - scheme.
091365 -
091366 - I changed the annotate field from 49d to 14d so that the entire line
091367 - is the same color scheme, black with yellow letters.  But when Medit
091368 - is assembled, and I open a file without my normal profile, the change
091369 - to the annotate field is not made.  It is still cyan, which is counter
091370 - 49d, the setting in Medit.asm before I changed it to 14d.
091371 -
091372 - The next day, I called Morris and he suggested deleting medit.obj,
091373 - then running the program compiler operation.
091374 -
091375 - I tried this, but we are still getting cyan - 49d - instead of black
091376 - with yellow letters, which is 14d.

091386 - Summary to use standard record segment colors of black with bright
091387 - white letters.
091388 -
091389 - Line 1920 -label mr947, ref OF 12 6468, changed call to macro 1241 and
091390 - entered calls for the file and annotate fields, since macro 1241 is
091391 - elimated today. ref te 4 1052
091392 -
091393 - Changed my mind and unplugged colors for File ID and Annotate fields,
091394 - so default colors apply.
091395 -
091396 -
091397 -     Entry 947 Restores Colors to Lines when Menu is Closed
091398 -
091399 -     Line 1960 -entry 947, ref OF 12 3467, this restores colors to
091400 -     lines in the file when a menu is closed.  I changed this to color
091401 -     15 for all headers.  The default color for report lines is 112 and
091402 -     for Full reports it is 7.
091403 -
091404 - Line 3155 -label schdl, ref OF 12 5784, changed code so that

091418 - which is white background and black letters, to 1 7 which is black
091419 - background with white letters.
091420 -
091421 - Decided not to use 1 15 which is black background and bright white
091422 - letters.
091423 -
091424 -      This macro was removed today as unneeded, because can do all of
091425 -      this stuff with macro 1572
091426 - ..
091427 - Line 810 -entry 1241, ref OF 14 5623, removed macro 1241 which
091428 - set colors for the File ID and Annotate fields, as unneeded, since it
091429 - was only called for the Diary Summary, we can specify it directly.
091430 -
091431 - Line 850 -entry 1252 ref OF 14 2455, changed color for headers that
091432 - separate records in full reports for subjects and documents.
091433 -    ..
091434 - Actually, decided to make this the primary control on color
091435 - schemes for full reports, since it is run on all full reports and they
091436 - are the only ones that require special coloring to differentiate from
091437 - regular records.
091438 -
091439 - Line 830 -entry 125, ref OF 14 3149, is ths still needed?
091440 -
091441 -     Decided -entry 125 and -entry 124 are not needed and so deleted
091442 -     them because macro 1572 is adequate. ref SDS 0 4764
091443 -
091444 - Line 1810 -entry 1572, ref OF 14 4804, changed this to call macro 150,
091445 - so it gets all of the function keys and the header calls for report
091446 - screens.  The only adjustment is to the screen color for full reports,
091447 - and this is done in macro 1252. ref SDS 0 5124 and. ref SDS 0 4764
091448 - ..
091449 - Line 220 -entry 153, ref OF 14 3966, had to add a switch for
091450 - setcolor 112 as the default, since this is called through macro 1572
091451 - to set up full report screens which now use color 7 instead of 112 in
091452 - order to accomplish the distinction with regular SDS records.

091460 -
091461 -     Line 1850, ref OF 11 3286, is the start of the code that applies
091462 -     common color for screens when menus are opened
091463 -
091464 -     Line 1880 -label 00jj, ref OF 11 3794, tried to eliminate specific
091465 -     calls for various component screens, because now most everything
091466 -     is color 112, so set it as default and set the color for full
091467 -     report screens to 7, since that is the new scheme.

091478 -     and 06111, and for Headline, Action Items and Subject listings for
091479 -     individual SDS records called by 0703 and 07031.

091505 -    during startup.
091506 -
091507 -    Since macro 153 is called to restore the profile and since it sets
