I've been fighting this all day. Inside my styles.xml file I have color information given like so:
<fgColor theme="0" tint="-0.249977111117893" /
ECMA 376 defines a theme color reference as:
Index into the <clrScheme collection,
referencing a particular <sysClr or
<srgbClr value expressed in the Theme
part.
Ok, that sounds easy. Here is an excerpt from my clrScheme xml:
<a:clrScheme name="Office"
<a:dk1
<a:sysClr val="windowText" lastClr="000000" /
</a:dk1
<a:lt1
<a:sysClr val="window" lastClr="FFFFFF" /
</a:lt1
Index zero is black, and they are wanting to darken it? I can tell you that after the tint is applied, the color should be #F2F2F2.
My confusion is what does theme="0" really mean? It can't possible mean to darken #000000. Checking MSDN only confuses me even more. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560821.aspx
note that the theme color integer
begins counting from left to right in
the palette starting with zero. Theme
color 3 is the dark 2 text/background
color.
Actually, if you start counting at zero the third entry is Light 2. Dark 2 is the second one. Can anyone here shed some light on this subject for me? What does theme="0" really mean?
Here is the VB6 code I have been working with to apply the tint. You can paste it into your vba editor and run the test sub.
