Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tones, tints and shades) of a single hue.


A few observations on the color scheme:

Hue is the term for the pure spectrum colors commonly referred to by the "color names" - red, orange, yellow, blue, green violet - which appear in the hue circle or rainbow. ...

The primary colors consist of three hues (yellow, red and blue) from which we can theoretically mix all other hues.

COLOR is the general term we use to describe every hue, tint, tone or shade we see.

White, Black and Gray are often referred to as a color. A HUE refers to the dominant Color Family of the specific color we're looking at. White, Black and Grey are never referred to as a Hue.

Although mono does mean “one,” this approach to color isn't just using the same single shade in multiple places in your design. Instead, you can create a monochromatic color palette by choosing one base color (traditionally one of the 12 on the color wheel) plus any number of variations of that base.

Monochromatic color schemes are easy to create because they use only one color.

Monochromatic schemes use different tones from the same angle on the color wheel (the same hue).

Black is the absence of light. ... Some consider white to be a color, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a color, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colors, they're shades.

For the most up to date reporting on the Oregon fires and related concerns, the TV station KGW posts it online at kgw.com .

OREGON STATE FIRE MAP.

For those of you who might be interested in studying the fire situation in Oregon at this time, this frequently updated map shows it well.

Center your screen on a point of interest and mouse-click on the plus sign at the lower right to enlarge that area. It shows the three stages of Fire Alerts and the inner portion of the Red Alert area shows flames graphically to reveal the actual burned areas.

The worst of them is the Beechie Creek Fire coupled with the Riverside Fire, and the Lionshead Fire a bit further north EAST. The three of them comprise a huge combined area east of Salem and south of Portland and environs. Statewide there are 37 active fires at this moment, totaling over 800,000 acres burned.

Initially, the previous weather reports had this area scheduled for 98 degrees on Thursday and 95 degrees today (Friday). By a stroke of extreme good fortune, some very cool air arrived, which made the situation much improved. It was only around 70 degrees today. Hopefully, an onshore wind will move the fire and smoke away from Salem and Portland, but there are still plenty of endangered structures in the eastward territories. 

On Thursday, the smoke was so dense that everything turned red. The smoke cloud blotted out the sun, so nighttime came a couple of hours earlier than expected. The devastation along Highway 22 is considerable. The small towns of Detroit, out by Detroit Lake, and Gates have been very badly burned.

The map should help you get a grip on what the situation is. Searching for more information is largely based on Googling by City names or designated fire name.

Somehow, in the course of my attempting to get things going again, I misdirected the saved Screenshots files to a video folder. I must have done that myself. For some reason, this was blocking Screenshots from working, so no files were saved.

Oh well, all's well that ends well..........

Alan,

I have finally figured something out.

On a few occasions lately, there appeared to be no cursor on my screen. I pulled it back in from off to the right. I wondered why it took so long to come out of the right edge of the screen. Somehow, presumably as a result of the recent updates, I have a second screen off to the right of the one I am viewing, and the mouse cursor was lurking over there.

So, Printscreen was doing its job OK, when I clicked to save a screen, that's what it was doing, saving BOTH of them.

So, now I get to the point of needing to eliminate the unwanted second screen to the right.

My Printscreen has started producing a double image. I assume that this was caused by the recent updates. Does anyone know anything about this? This is only occurring on my Dell computer. The HP is still OK.

How can I reset Printscreen so it only captures the actually viewed screen without adding the blank windows desktop image?

Doug
