>      This window, labelled <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B

>, is used to
      find a system color most closely matching a given one. You can
      specify a color to match in several ways: by explicitly giving
      the RGB values using the sliders, by dragging and dropping a
      color from some other color source, such as default GNOME color
      selector (if you have selected the option
      <SPAN
CLASS="MENUCHOICE"
><B
CLASS="GUISUBMENU"
>On drop</B
><B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Search</B
></SPAN
> in
      <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</B
> menu), or by grabbing a color of any
      pixel on the screen. To use this last method, click on
      <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Grab</B
> button in the toolbar. Your mouse
      cursor will turn into a "crosshair". Place this crosshair over
      any point of the screen and click. <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> will analyze the
      color of this point, determine the RGB values, and show this
      color and the RGB values in the <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Search</B
></TT
>
      window. It will also show all system colors closely matching
      this one.

      <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> shows only those colors which match the given one
      "close enough", and orders them by how close they are, so that
      the best matches are shown first. You can adjust its tolerance
      by using the <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Tolerance</B
></TT
> slider: smaller
      values make <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> to be more selective, so that only very close
      matches are shown. Setting the tolerance value to 0 will show
      only exact matches; setting tolerance to 100 will show all the
      colors. 
    </P

      By default, <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> only looks for matches among the system
      ("simple") colors. This can be changed using <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Search
      in...</B
> item in the <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings
      menu</B
>, which allows you to enable or disable searches
      in "simple"(system) and "favorites" (personal) colors
      independently. 
    </P

>Another configurable option is the update mode. By default,
    <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> continuously 
    updates matches when you change the color (for example, by using
    the RGB sliders) &#8212;. If you find that this is slow on your
    sytem, you can use <SPAN
CLASS="MENUCHOICE"
><B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Settings</B
><B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Search update</B
></SPAN
> to change the update mode to
    <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Discontinuous</B
></TT
> (<TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> will only update
    matches after you released the slider) or
    <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Delayed</B
></TT
> ((<TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GNOME Color Browser</TT
> will  update
    matches with a delay of about 1/2 second).
