Clicking on one of the buttons calls a special colour dialogue box used to change the setting. - -The colour dialogue box provides a convenient and graphical way to select a colour. In the upper left of the box is a rectangular display of a spectrum of colours. To the immediate right of this, is vertical bar displaying a range of intensity from the most dark at the bottom to the most light at the top. The user may select and adjust a colour by clicking in these two boxes. Clicking in the rectangular display selects a particular mix of red, green, and blue colours and in the vertical bar selects a level of intensity (value). The various colour attributes are displayed in numerical form in small text boxes located directly below the spectral rectangle and the user can see them change as the colour is adjusted. These attributes include the mix of the basic colour components (red, green, and blue) as well as hue and saturation levels. Alternatively the user can enter figures directly in these boxes. There is also a square at the bottom centre of the dialogue box which displays the colour which is under consideration at any time. To the right of this display is another text box labelled HTML: This shows the user the colour code that would be used to specify the particular displayed colour in HTML code which is widely used for web pages. - -In addition to the above, the colour dialogue allows the capture of any colour currently displayed on the desktop or in another program. Clicking on the button with the dropper icon (located on the right side of the dialogue box,) changes the shape of the mouse cursor to a set of crosshairs. Clicking again will pick up the colour attributes of whatever colour is displayed under the cross hairs. - -Furthermore the user has the option of adding any colour to a personal palette of Custom Colours by clicking on the wide button labelled Add to Custom Colours (which is located directly above the display square.) This adds the current colour to the custom colour palette. This palette and any other available palettes can be displayed using the drop down selection box located directly above the palette display at the top right of the dialogue box. Besides the custom colours, the user can access a number of pre-prepared palettes. - - - - -Background -Here the user can specify a colour for the general background of &kwrite;. - - - -Selected -This allows the user to select a colour to be used for indicating selected (or highlighted) portions of the document. - - +Colours + +This section provides access to two different colour settings, described below.

Likewise when the cursor is moved past the beginning of a line (to the left) it jumps up to the end of the preceding line. When this option is not selected, moving the cursor right past the end of a line merely causes it to continue horizontally in the same line and trying to move it left past the beginning does nothing. -When this option is chosen, clicking with the mouse past the end of a line of text will place the insert cursor at the end of the text, and not in the place you clicked.
