Brighten the dull colors, change red to rose, black to navy, white to manila- whatever YOU find most pleasing! It unlocks the 256K "true colors" palette available in all video cards from low-end VGA on up. Technically speaking, Windows uses either 16 or 20 FIXED system colors to display most of the things on your screen. It turns out that each of these system colors comes from a big palette of 256K possibilities and it was somewhat arbitrary which colors were picked. Better Colors lets YOU pick the colors (without "dithering" them), a capability never before available! Better Colors runs in the background as a regular Windows application with very low overhead (less than 30K of memory). It is compatible with all Windows applications and works with all graphics cards and 16 or 256 color drivers including low-end VGA, Super VGA, and accelerators. Works with Windows 3.0 and later. Better Colors is fully functional shareware for evaluation use only. Any other use requires registering with the author, Dadasoft, and costs $19.95. Registration includes a copy of the latest version of Better Colors, notification and discount for future versions, and unlimited free support via email or postal mail.
