problem creating color for edwindowtoolbar [solved]

hello

i'm trying to create a toolbar....the vm can't seem to find the _colorNew function (perhaps it doesn't exist since g2k is still a work in process?)

in any case, how would i create a color for a toolbar (scol uses several formats for colors, I assume this is g2k but I'm not sure, and the online doc example, http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_colorNew.html, doesn't appear complete (it doesn't contain a _colorNew example with an alpha value)

as always I may be missing something under my nose

here is my code

  let _colorNew _channel 65365 0xFFFF 0xFFFF -> toolbar_color in
  let crEdWindowToolBar mainWindow 0 0 nw 50 5 1 toolbar_color ETB_HORIZONTAL -> tbstr in

the consolse states that _colorNew is unknown

here are the loaded .pkg's (the same as loaded in the os3dplayer)

  let "tools/os3dlib/tools.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/xmlparser.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/keyblib.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/ogrematparser.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/v3dlib.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/v3dlib_physics.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/2dglib.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/minidhdms.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/mkapplet.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/netcomlib.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dpaths.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dstruct.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dtypeconv.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dplugins.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dpluginscb.pkg"::

    "tools/os3dlib/os3dloader.pkg"::

use make_rgb or make_rgba
make_rgb 255 0 0; for example

yes that works....on to creating some buttons ...... so when I am using the os3d api, i should use make_rgb to make a color, but using the scol 2d graphic api (say for painting containers or fonts) i use hex values.

Iri I see a section of the O'Reilly book on colors.

_colorNew is for Scol 2d GTK API, so to build GTK interface. My work is not finished about GTK.

make_rbg convert the rgb component values into hex color value. this is just an easy way to set colors.
hex value works too

thx,
this table is a proper reference for hex colors, correct? http://www.nthelp.com/colorcodes.htm
