NAME
xco - display X11 color names and colors

SYNOPSIS
xco [ -display display ] [ -name name ] [ -title title ] [ -geometry geometry ] [ -help ] [ -scroll number ] [ -show number ] [ -fg foreground ] [ -bg background ]

DESCRIPTION
xco uses the database of standard X11 named colors to display name-color pairs. Appearance is based on the X10 xcolors program. To change the foreground color, click the left mouse button in the color window you want. To change the background color, click the right mouse button in the color window you want. Clicking the middle mouse button sets the colors back to the original foreground and background. You can switch quickly through colors by holding down the left or right button and sliding the cursor through the colored windows. More colors can be seen by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the screen

Typing a ``q'' will cause the program to exit. Typing a ``r'' will cause the foreground and background colors to be swapped (aka reverse video).
