Color Scheme FR- Favorite color pallette

what it does is it lets you choose 8 different colors and then uses a template file to make a scheme. the template file defines what color goes to what GUI element in tracktion. the template file is really only a tracktion scheme file with only 8 different colors used. my question is should i take the alpha value from the template file or should i let that be part of the 8 colors?

Considering that different colors in each scheme can and often do have different alpha values, I'd just say to let that be included in the 8 colors.
If this works, will there be maybe a 16 color version? Or maybe just 12? Or am I asking too much?!?!
Thanks again man!

Unless of course the template alpha values would vary for different UI elements. But even in that case, I'd still prefer the other way.
Maybe this could evolve into something even bigger? I hope so. If I was better at coding, I'd do things like this, but I just don't have the time to practice at it. But I'll always offer ideas to help!

I think that's the best way to go. Looking forward to seeing it! Are you doing this in JUCE? I am assuming so.

might be good to put some ideas in too-

i just like to work with code 
generally i just use a text editor; so far i've not bothered to splash out on any compilers/IDEs.. all my programming stuff is done in any text editor (i usually use vIDE but i haven't looked at alternatives for a while) and my compiler is the free borland commandline toolset.
that normally means that i set myself up for a hard time trying to implement other libraries so i really should look into getting a new compiler. what do you use?
my brain tends to operate in standard C++; everything i write is platform independant, using cross platform libraries when necessary, but due to compiler issues i've never bothered to actually try coding a windows GUI. looks like way too much hassle to get borland commandline compiler to cooperate! JUCE looks like it may well be a pretty darn handy library for me, but i've not attempted to find an alternative compiler yet
i'm just repeating myself aren't i!
regardless, i'd like to look at your code. i'm pretty quick at picking up library implementations so i'm sure i'd not have any problems figuring out how you've used JUCE.
and tell me what you use!

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

ugh, this template thing is annoying...
i should probably make another program to aid template creation but i don't feel like doing it right now
i'll post what i have so far in a sec, but if anybody wants to help with the templates i'd be very appreciative.

program: http://www.annoware.com/SchemeGen.zip
source: http://www.annoware.com/SchemeGen.cpp
here's how templates work:
color in template --- color referenced
00000000 --- 1
000000FF --- 2
0000FF00 --- 3
0000FFFF --- 4
00FF0000 --- 5
00FF00FF --- 6
00FFFF00 --- 7
00FFFFFF --- 8
FF000000 --- 9
FF0000FF --- 10
FF00FF00 --- 11
FF00FFFF --- 12
FFFF0000 --- 13
FFFF00FF --- 14
FFFFFF00 --- 15
FFFFFFFF --- 16
so whenever SchemeGen finds the color #0000FFFF in the template it replaces it with whatever your fourth color is.
