==================================
Introduction

Clarence's UO Dye Tub Helper is a simple utility that can help with hues and dyed clothing. Can't remember how to make that guild color? Want to see how a couple of colors look side-by-side, without using up game resources? Having trouble telling someone what color you're talking about? Need to create a tub of dye from an existing article of clothing, or from a source outside of the game? My dye tub helper can do all that, and more...

==================================
System Requirements

Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0
DirectX 2.0 or greater

==================================
Installation and Operation Instructions

1) Unzip all files in archive to the same directory. Double click on UODyeTubHelper.exe to begin.

2) To move the dialog - right click the dialog frame, and drag it around the screen.

3) To access the system menu - either right click the area around the dye tubs, or right click the program in the taskbar.

4) To change the color of the current tub - click on the brightness slider, or the color palette.

5) To change the current tub - either double click the tub you want to use, or use the Active Dye Tub menu from the system menu.

6) To capture a color from the screen - click the Capture Color button (the eyedropper) or choose Capture Match Color from Color Matching on the system menu. Click the point on the screen you want to capture. The color will appear in the color box.

7) To capture a color from the UO window - because of highlighting and the hand cursor, capturing from the UO window requires an extra step. Turn on 'Two Second Pause on Capture' from Color Matching on the system menu, and attempt to capture the color. After you click the spot you want to capture, move the cursor away. Two seconds later, the color will appear in the color box, without any highlighting or such.

8) To map the color box color to a UO color - Get a color in the color box either by capturing it, or by clicking on the color box and selecting one. Click the Attempt to Match Color button (rainbow bar) or choose Attempt to Match Color from Color Matching on the system menu. UO Dye Tub Helper wil set the current tub to the UO color closest to the color box color. Results may vary, as the result is found via triangular distance (the closest color to pure white, for instance, is actually a slight yellow).

9) To get a clear or true black tub - select either True Black Tub or Clear Tub from Hue Details on the system menu.

10) To choose a color by it's hue code - select Choose Color By Hue from Hue Details on the system menu.

11) To get information on the current tub colors - select Hue Details from the Hue Details submenu of the system menu.
