MixColors( Color1, Color2, Percentage ),LONG
| Color1 | A LONG value that represents a valid RGB composite color to be mixed with the second color (color1) |
| Color2 | A LONG value that represents a valid RGB composite color to be mixed with the first color (color1) |
| percentage | A BYTE value that represents the percentage of mix applied to the two colors. |
The MixColors method is a PROTECTED method used to calculate and return a composite mix of two colors with a given percentage of mix.
Each color passed to this method is a RGB composite color extracted as follows:
InputColor LONG
RGBT1 GROUP,OVER(InputColor)
R BYTE
G BYTE
B BYTE
NotUsed BYTE
END
The mixing of colors is applied using the following formula to all RGB elements:
(RGBT1.R + 1)
Return Value: LONG
Implementation:
The MIxColors method is used by the SetThemeColors method to detect and set the proper theme menu style color based on the active theme detected.
