<para>You set your workspace colors through a color palette. The number of
color buttons in the palette is determined by your display type and the Number
of Colors selection.</para>

<para>The default is More Colors for Applications, which keeps the number
of colors used on a high-color display to a minimum. To increase the number
of color buttons on a high-color display, select More Colors for Desktop
in the Number of Colors dialog box and restart the current session.</para>
<para>While you can't use more colors than your display allows, you can reduce
the number of colors used by the desktop by choosing a lower-valued color
usage.</para>
<para>For example, if you have a high-color display and have selected More
Colors for Desktop but you want to run a color-rich application such as a
computer- aided design (CAD) program, you should choose More Colors for Applications
or Most Colors for Applications to decrease the number of colors that the
desktop uses. The remaining colors are available for the CAD program.</para>
<sect3 id="UG.StylM.div.5">
<title>Color Buttons</title>
<para>Your display type and the Number of Colors selection determine the number
of color buttons that make up a palette. You will have two, four, or eight
color buttons in the Color dialog box. The different color buttons in the
palette control the colors used for different areas of the screen.</para>
