DST stands alone in that weird colour thing.
All the other brands, Hus, Pes, Art, et al,... what is not happening
is the colour palettes are different for each program.
Hus defaults to Sulky for example. So if I open a pes file, it wassun
created using the Sulky palette, so my palette does its best to
suibstitute.
When you don't see the "correct" colour number, then the palette is
prolly set different to what the original file was created to "see".
So what you open the file, it "substitutes" the closest it can match
it to if it can.
DST can't do this. You can play with the colours, but if you save and
close as DST it will simply revert back to DST default colours.
Powerful is DST.
Pretty? No!
Is there a program that will rematch these for you? Not that I have
seen. You can change the palette in the settings, but you still have
to rematch all the colours to suit your taste, or the colour
instruction sheet that came with the design.
As long as you aren't blind as a bat and thick as a brick, colour
matching is not brain surgery!

"Simple" being a noun and an adjective, unfortunately....
It's getting rave reviews though.
But those people prolly have 1000's of FB sheep... I mean friends....
ROFL
You have been keeping abreast of the recent mental problems that are
associated with Facebook dwellers??
They can't function in real life.
Becoming socially dysfunctional in the living, breathing world, having
created a fake one online.
Wonder if GB is a Farmville addict?? Growing fake stuff cos he
couldn't germinate anything in real life??
If spoof were brains he would still be an amoeba...
/laff

As above!
Remember when playing Solitaire at work was deemed the biggest waste
of time you could ever do?? /laff
And now people are growing crops online and raising calves...
They doan call it GenWHY fer nuffin'... ROFL

It will have to!! You know he can't generate text from his own
thoughts!
If he can't cut and paste someone else's stuff, then silence is the
stern reply...

Bit wet today... ok, a lot wet!
Drought's officially broken here now. Now the farmers, who were only
receiving drought relief last month are applying for flood and storm
relief!!
We can't win a trick!
We're up out of it, so we are just enjoying a blossoming garden.
Flowers everywhere. Heaven!
Had a bit of hayfever this morning. The bottlebrush is out.
I can lie in jasmine, no worries, but as soon at the bottlebrush
blooms I get the sniffles a bit.
Pixie :-))
