This is particulary useful if you for some reason have scrolled away from the top left area of the video memory and want the dialog to be displayed on currently visible video memory rather than on the default location. If this is NULL (it is by default), `adime_dialogf()' & co will scroll to the top left corner of screen and use that part to display the dialog on. <blockquote><font size="-1" face="helvetica,verdana"><em><b>See also:</b></em> <a href="adime000.html#adime_dialogf">adime_dialogf</a>, <a href="#adime_font">adime_font</a>.</font></blockquote> <hr><font size="+1"><b>FONT *<a name="adime_font">adime_font</a>;</b></font><br> <font size="+1"><b>FONT *<a name="adime_title_font">adime_title_font</a>;</b></font><br> <font size="+1"><b>FONT *<a name="adime_button_font">adime_button_font</a>;</b></font><br> The font used in general by Adime dialogs and objects, the font for the title of the dialogs and the font for the OK and Cancel buttons.

The argument <tt>`d'</tt> will point to the first object of the current Adime dialog, or the first object of Allegro's file selector when it's open. See adime/examples/exanim.c for an example on how to use this to do animation while a dialog is open. <blockquote><font size="-1" face="helvetica,verdana"><em><b>See also:</b></em> <a href="adime000.html#adime_dialogf">adime_dialogf</a>.</font></blockquote> <br><center><h2><a name="Adime Colors">Adime Colors</a></h2></center><p> extern RGB<ul> adime_text_rgb,<br> adime_disabled_text_rgb,<br> adime_error_text_rgb,<br> adime_border_rgb,<br> adime_background_rgb,<br> adime_edit_field_rgb,<br> adime_button_rgb,<br> adime_dark_shadow_rgb,<br> adime_shadow_rgb,<br> adime_highlight_rgb,<br> adime_light_highlight_rgb;<br> These variables specify the color of different parts of the dialog shown by `adime_dialogf()'. You may change them if you want other colors (the default is similar to the windows gray semi-3d look). Each r, g, and b component ranges from 0 to 255 no matter which the current color depth is. In 8 bit modes the closest entry in the palette is found, so it is your responsibility to make sure that the palette contains similar colors. As a special case, if you set the <tt>`filler'</tt> field of the RGB struct to 1 rather than 0, then the <tt>`r'</tt> field will be used without searching the palette. (This can be useful if you depend on a certain palette index to be used.) Most of the variable names should be pretty self-explanatory. <tt>`adime_disabled_text_rgb'</tt> is very seldom used and is the color of text on buttons that can't be pressed. <tt>`adime_error_text_rgb'</tt> is the color of the result of an expression if the expression was invalid (e.g. contained mismatched parentheses). Hopefully you will understand the other names, but if you don't, they are common enough that you should be able to find out with some trial and error. </ul> <blockquote><font size="-1" face="helvetica,verdana"><em><b>See also:</b></em> <a href="adime000.html#adime_dialogf">adime_dialogf</a>.</font></blockquote> <br><center><h2><a name="Adime Metrics">Adime Metrics</a></h2></center><p> extern int<ul> adime_window_border_thickness,<br> adime_window_title_spacing,<br> adime_window_button_spacing,<br> adime_window_between_button_spacing,<br> adime_window_description_spacing,<br> adime_window_line_spacing,<br> adime_window_button_w,<br> adime_window_button_h,<br> adime_window_title_border_thickness,<br> adime_window_title_internal_border_thickness;<br> These variables specify the size and spacing of different parts of Adime dialogs. <tt>`border_thickness'</tt> is the spacing from the border to the contents of the dialog; <tt>`title_spacing'</tt> is the spacing between the title and the first object; <tt>`button_spacing'</tt> is the spacing above the OK and Cancel buttons; <tt>`between_button_spacing'</tt> is the spacing between the buttons; <tt>`description_spacing'</tt> is the horizontal spacing between the description text and the input field; <tt>`line_spacing'</tt> is the vertical spacing between two objects in the dialog; <tt>`button_w'</tt> and <tt>`button_h'</tt> specify the size of the OK and Cancel buttons; <tt>`title_border_thickness'</tt> is the space between the dialog title and the edge of the dialog; <tt>`title_internal_border_thickness'</tt> is the space inside the title from the edge to the text.
