Problem Title:
When items are selected in Procapture, selected color is the opposite
color.



Problem Description:
Every color in Procapture has a color on the opposite side of the color
spectrum that will the selected color.	If you are using the New Default
Color Pallette for ProCapture, you may notice that any item that is black
turns white when selected.  When an item is the same color as the background
it appears that it has disappeared.  There are other colors that when
selected are also difficult to see against the black background.

In the viewdraw.ini file there is a SELECTION_LAYER attribute that should set
the default selected color, but this is not supported in Procapture.  You can,
however, use this in Workview Office.


Solution 1:

The only way to work around the viewable color problem with Procapture is
to use the Classic Defaults color pallette (which gives a black background)
or change any colors that come up as unviewable when selcted with the white
background.
Here is a list of 16 colors and with their default selected color.

Black <-> White
Blue  <-> Yellow
Green <-> Lt. Magenta
Cyan <-> Lt. Red
Red <-> Lt. Cyan
Magenta <-> Lt. Green
Brown <-> Lt. Blue
Lt. Gray <-> Gray
