Some time back, someone (I think it was TMOTA) posted a list of the
validation strings for 3-D borders in RISC OS 3.1 (R0 - R7, although I am
not sure I understand R7 "writeable icon" - how is this a border type???).
He goes on to comment "As with RISC OS 3.0, version 3.00, it is possible to
define alternative slabbing down colours". My question is - "how?".
 
More specifically, what are the validation string commands for this? Also,
with type R3 (ridge grouping icon) is there a way of specifying the ridge
colour? It always seems to come out colour 1 (light grey). I'd like
something darker...
 
Maybe someone in the know could post the details of all the new validation
string commands? (Or tell us when the RO3 PRMs will be available... :-)
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Gustav.
