About StarNet

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Warning: Color name is not defined

Example errors

  • Warning: Color name “gray” is not defined
  • Warning: Color name “thistle” is not defined
  • Warning: Color name “lightsteelblue” is not defined
  • Cannot parse default background color specification

    The color names (e.g. “gray”, “thistle”, and “lightsteelblue”) are defined in a color name database. The color database is stored in a file called rgb.bin, which is located in the X-Win32 installation directory, for example:

    C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 7.1\lib\rgb.bin

    If you are experiencing this issue, please do the following:

    1. Open X-Config, open the Color tab, and note whether or not X-Config gives you a warning that rgb.bin could not be found.
    2. If you do not receive a warning in step #1 then note whether you see a lot of colors (e.g. 700) in X-Config’s Color tab?
  1. If X-Config is giving a warning or if there are not many colors being shown in X-Config’s Color tab then you can simply download this replacement copy of rgb.bin File:rgb.zip, unzip it, and copy it into the X-Win32 installation directory, for example: 
    C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 7.1\lib\

    Restart X-Win32 and the problem should go away.
