How to use palette and color?

[Alpha Centauri Bear]

I am building geoscape popup and trying to do this.
All text is one white.
List rows may be one of two other colors (not white) on condition.
What is the correct way to do it? Thank you.


Some generic questions.

Not all interfaces have palette set. Which palette will be used?

What is "id: palette" element? Is it same as palette or something different?

What palette is used by UFOInfo interface?

One example of my confusion.
The UFO detection popup. Apparently it uses two colors in the list but I cannot find any color setting code in the UfoDetectedState::UfoDetectedState.

Depends on the interface (and the source code).
Usually PAL_GEOSCAPE.

What is "id: palette" element?

It's an element for the background palette configuration.

Is it same as palette or something different?

Different.

What palette is used by UFOInfo interface?

PAL_GEOSCAPE

Loading colors:

   add(_lstInfo, "text", "UFOInfo");

Changing colors:

   ss << Unicode::TOK_COLOR_FLIP << tr(heading);

Thank you. Much clearer now.

One question about dots. Does OXCE always use primary color or it matches the color of the text in the cell?

Don't know.
It does the same as OXC.
