My Music Collection Color Changes

ok, this first one is 10,000 lines with no value greater than 256.

the second pic is the same code but I removed every line after 36.

they appear to be the same. which would mean any line after 36 is "useless"

[Spoons]

this is 36 lines but with values ranging from 257 up to 1000.
and this is the result.

this one here is using 36 lines but values from 1001 to 2000 all 4 digits long with the exception of line 4,5,6 being 10 digits long.

So if Spoon was to allow "millions" colors we could produce some stunning colors. although I understand this would use much more system resources, but an option to turn it on or off in the dap config setup would be cool.

[Spoons]

never mind, I got it all wrong.

265 colors in R G B, which is:

256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216 colors. doh! :D

This is very strange. RGB values for each color range from 0 to 255. What is interesting is how the program handles values greater than 255. Through experimentation I have found that black (000,000,000) always remains black no matter how many 0's you add to each value. White (255, 255, 255) will not always remain white when you add 0's after each value. But anything in black, white or gray will stay in the black,white gray continuum as long as the RGB values are equal.
But if you start taking the RGB values for a color and multiply each value by factors of 10, you will end up with wildly dissimilar colors which (if you were to translate into normal RGB values) reflect different relative intensities of R, G, and B so that you will sometimes get blue, yellow, red, or magenta (for example). I tried checking to see if multiplying RGB values by 255 would yield a consistent color but it does not.
This undoubtedly underlies the wierd gradients that Razgo has achieved in many of MMC screens. Perhaps someone else could explain the process which the program uses to deal with abnormal RGB values. I guess for myself, for now, I will just have to accept this as a strange, (so far) inexplicable, and wonderful feature of dAP.

For any number it just takes the lower part, 0-255. But the gradient fill works from and two a number, so for large numbers it will gradient across colors.

What do you mean by "lowest number"? This does not seem to fit with my experience but perhaps I misunderstand.

If you had a number such as 7345623 and you AND it with 255, you would be left with 215
