The Color Selector widget allows users to choose a color by using either a set of RGB 

sliders or choosing from a list of all colors available in the rgb database. The name or 

rgb value, as well as the color selected, are dynamically displayed to the user as they 

pick and choose different colors.

.SH colorMode

The color list can be used in either slider or list mode. Acceptable values are 

XmListMode and XmScaleMode. This resource allows the application to determine 

the mode that the color selector should use when it is created. After this point, the 

user may freely change modes by utilizing a pair of radio buttons in the color 

selector. A type converter is registered to convert the strings "ScaleMode" and 

"ListMode" to color modes for use with the resource database.

.PP

.SH colorName

This resource controls the color name that is currently displayed to the user. This 

value can be modified to change the color displayed in the color selector or 

queried to find the color the user has selected. The string returned here is either a 

color name or a pound sign (#) followed by a set of rgb values as specified in the 

Xlib specification.

.SH Children

.PP

The color selector is composed of many sub-widgets. As with all widgets, most values 

are passed to this widget through the argument list at creation time or via set values 

and are passed to each of this widget's children, although get values requests must be 

made on a child-by-child basis. The children of 

the color selector are listed below. The documentation for each of the children should 

be consulted for a list of resources for each child.
