BGCOLOUR_24

Syntax

BGCOLOUR_24 [#ch,] colour

Location

SMSQ/E v2.98+

This is similar to BGCOLOUR_QL in that it allows you to set a wallpaper to cover the whole of the available screen (in any resolution).

A valid window channel must be open, default #1 (or #0 on a SBASIC with only #0 open), although one may also be supplied as #ch.

BGCOLOUR_24 allows you to specify any 24 Bit Colour - the parameters allowed are the same as for the INK command (in COLOUR_24 mode), which thus allows for you to specify composite colours.

Example

BGCOLOUR_24 $920000,$ff0092,3 -sets a checkerboard pattern of Dark Red and Shocking Pink.

CROSS-REFERENCE

Refer to Appendix 16 and INK for more details on colours.
