Colour Schemes

Sweep has a number of colour schemes to easily distinguish between the files being worked on.

Normally, the scheme for a file is based on a hash of the file name, such that a file will be assigned the same colour each time it is loaded into Sweep (idea due to Erik de Castro Lopo).

You can change the scheme used at any time through the View->Colour Schemes menu.

	Decoder Red [43 kB PNG]
	Orangeboom [43 kB PNG] Orangeboom means "orange tree" in Dutch, and is fun to say.
	Lame Yellow [43 kB PNG] This is close to the original colour scheme of early Sweep alpha release versions 0.1.x, which was of course somewhat less functional. The name is also a reference to the LAME encoder project, which used Sweep in May 2000 to visualize the outputs of various decoders concerning an ambiguity in the MP3 ISO specification.
	Coogee Bay Blue [43 kB PNG] This is of course named after the bay at which you will find Coogee Beach in Sydney, Australia.
	Blackwattle [43 kB PNG] Continuing the irrelvent tour of Sydney, this is named after Blackwattle Bay, home of the Sydney Fish Market where you can eat really good fresh sashimi by the box full.
	Frigid [43 kB PNG] This icy scheme is named after Frigid, an excellent electronic music night, every Sunday in Sydney.
	Radar [44 kB PNG] This is an especially high contrast colour scheme designed for what a user once described as "bleary eyed 3:00 AM editing sessions".
	Bluescreen [43 kB PNG]
