I use something like this in FPD:
Set Color of Scheme 1 To W/N, N/W, W/N, W/N, W+/N, N/W,
N/W, N+/N,
GR+/B, R+/B, +
Set Color of Scheme 2 To BG/b, W+/B, N/W*, B/W, R/BG*,
B/W*, R+/GR*, W/N*, B/W, bg/b, +
Set Color of Scheme 3 To W/GR, N/W, BG/N, BG/N, BG/N, N/BG,
W+/W,
N+/N, BG/N, BG/N, +
Set Color of Scheme 4 To W/N*, W+/N*, G+/N*, B/W, R/BG*, GR+/R,
W+/N,
N+/N, B/W, W/N,+
Set Color of Scheme 5 To W+/gr, W+/BG, W+/gr, W+/RB, W/RB, N/W*,
W+/N, N+/N, W+/BG, W/RB, +
....etc.
The values were created in window/color dialog, and pasted from what you
get by Scheme() function. Now, in VFP you'd use RGBScheme().
Now, the bad news. You don't have a color picker in Fox anymore, you use
Windows color picker. You don't know which colors apply to what anymore,
except by trial and blow.
I knew that in any of 24 color scheme 10th color pair applied to a
disabled object, that color schemes 2 and 3 made cursor invisible (they
were for menus & popups) etc. Anyway, Windows philosophy says you don't
color your book, you sell a coloring book, so user applies colors at
will.
As the result, all the applications look the same. Gray. Worse, M$ gray.
If you really want your own colors (I do that, too - I hate gray), you
probably should hard-code them somewhere in your next-to-base classes,
and tell your form classes to use those colors as a color source.
And... er... color schemes 13 to 15 are read-only, for no
well-documented reason.
