Then you are not trying very hard. I for one am getting tired of people
going to these lists without doing a minimal RTFM or even a google search
first. If this is going to be a totally incompetent lazy newbie list from
now on, I will take my time and expertise elsewhere.

Sorry that I upset you, but there is much to learn and I have not read everything yet. There are 2700 pages of documentation on classes alone, with more to come judging by the copious "description forthcoming" entries.

I too did a Google search but silly me, I used NSButton & "color" for my search--which lead to nothing of interest on the first two pages. Since "images" are not part of my program I have not paid attention to things like "NSImageView, which seemed then, and still does, a reasonable thing to have done with my limited time. It never occurred to me that "color" would be linked in this way to "image," especially when there is a show color in the tools menu in Interface Builder that included an "apply" button; that got me off on a tangent--and again I could not find anything in the Help section that might have sent me straight!

Thank you for the link you found; the thing is you know what search terms to use having intimate knowledge of the subject, where as I and most other newbies do not. In short, Sir, while I value your input, indeed can not do without such input from you and the other experts on the list, I must take umbrage at your implication that I am both incompetent and lazy. I am neither. From day one I have advanced the notion of a list for beginners like myself, as have several others on this and other lists; all such pleas have gone unheeded or shouted down, usually by "old hands". So,
ignore me if you wish, but please do not make others suffer by going away.
Thank you again.
