Khromagen

Freeware for the PalmOS

I. Be sure the following files are in your download directory:

• Khroma23.prc : the full featured editor application (89K).
• KhromaQC11.prc : the small-footprint (17K) QuickChange application for changing schemes and screen depth with a single click.
• KhromaDB.pdb : the color scheme presets database (7K).
• InstallKhroma.html: this file.
• KhromaReference.html : ramblings about Khroma and how to use it.
• KhromaHistory.html : ramblings about changes to Khroma.

II. If this is your first installation:

1. Add Khroma23.prc, KhromaQC11.prc and KhromaDB.pdb to the HotSync manager using the Install Handheld files... menu item.
2. If you want to save 87K and don't need to manage the database (edit, add or delete schemes, import or export schemes, etc.) omit Khroma23.prc - KhromaQC can function independently.
3. Hot-sync.

III. If you are upgrading from version 2.0 - 2.2

1. Add Khroma23.prc and KhromaQC11.prc to the HotSync manager using the Install Handheld files... menu item. If you want to keep your current scheme database DO NOT add KhromaDB.pdb. DO NOT add KhromaDB.pdb UNLESS you want to replace your old scheme database.
2. Hot-sync. The old version of Khroma will be replaced.
3. Check the About Khroma dialog. If the version number is v2.3 all went well.

IV. If you are upgrading from version 1.3 or earlier

1. Add Khroma23.prc and KhromaQC11.prc to the HotSync manager using the Install Handheld files... menu item. You usually will NOT want to add KhromaDB.pdb. DO NOT add KhromaDB.pdb UNLESS you want to replace your old scheme database. You will probably want to keep any changes you have made and no major changes have been made to the scheme database anyway.
2. Hot-sync. The old version of Khroma will be replaced.
3. Check the About Khroma dialog. If the version number is v2.3 all went well.

V. If you are upgrading from version 1.3 or earlier and just want to install QuickChange

1. DO NOT delete your older version of Khroma with the Palm's delete command UNLESS you want delete your old scheme database AND any changes you may have made. KhromaQC will automatically find the older, incompatable version of Khroma and prompt you to delete it and will do so while preserving your original scheme database.
2. Add KhromaQC11.prc to the HotSync manager using the Install Handheld files... menu item. DO NOT add KhromaDB.pdb UNLESS you want to replace your old one.
3. Hot-sync.
4. Launch KhromaQC. If it prompts you to delete an older version of Khroma you should do it. If you want editing capabilities you can install Khroma 2.3 at any time.
