[l2h] Changing default calours in frames

Find the module  frames.perl  in the directory  $LATEX2HTMLDIR/styles
where $LATEX2HTMLDIR  is the base location for the LaTeX2HTML libraries,
as set at the beginning of the installed latex2html script.

Then a simple grep will tell you what you need to know;
e.g.

landau.ics.mq.edu.au> grep COLOR frames.perl
$TEXT_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#9944EE\" vlink=\"#0000ff\" alink=\"#00ff00\""
        unless $TEXT_COLOR;
if (!$NOFRAMES) { $MAIN_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#000000\" text=\"#ffffff\"" unless $MAIN_COLOR;}
else { $MAIN_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\"" unless $MAIN_COLOR; }
$NAVIG_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#ffeee0\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#9944EE\" vlink=\"#FF0000\" alink=\"#00ff00\""
        unless $NAVIG_COLOR;
$FOOT_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#eeeee0\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#9944EE\" vlink=\"#0000ff\" alink=\"#00ff00\""
        unless $FOOT_COLOR;
$TOC_COLOR = "bgcolor=\"#8080C0\" text=\"#ffeee0\" link=\"#eeeee0\" vlink=\"#eeeee0\" alink=\"#00ff00\""
        unless $TOC_COLOR;
...
...



Thus you see the default settings for the variables used for the color sets
in the different frames:
   $TEXT_COLOR, $NAVIG_COLOR, $FOOT_COLOR, $TOC_COLOR
(and also $MAIN_COLOR for when there are no frames).

As well as the background and text colors, the color sets include the 3 different
colors for link-text of hyperlinks: tested/untested and while being pressed.


Set these in an initialisation file, to have whatever colors you like,
and the defaults will be ignored.
