ColorUtils is a module for BarnOwl written by asedeno to make managing color filters easy.

To get started, copy /afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/asedeno/Public/barnowl-modules/ColorUtils.par into ~/.owl/modules/ and then start barnowl.

Once you have ColorUtils loaded, three new command will be added to barnowl:

 * '''setcolor''' -- ''set the color for the current message; bound to 'c'.''
 * '''savecolors''' -- ''persist the current color settings to file.''
 * '''loadcolors''' -- ''load color settings from file.''

'''setcolor''' ''[-b] [-i] <color>''
 * '''-b''' -- ''set the background color, rather than the foreground color''
 * '''-i''' -- ''For zephyr classes, color the particular instance. This is the default for class message.''
 * '''color''' -- one of the colors listed in ''':show colors'''

'''Note:''' Colors are only persisted when the '''savecolors''' command is run, not when '''setcolor''' is used.


color settings are stored in two files in ~/.owl/
 * '''colormap''' -- ''foreground color mappings.''
 * '''colormap_bg''' -- ''background color mappings.''

The ColorUtils source is available through git at git://asedeno.mit.edu/ColorUtils.git .
