Change default gem colors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

By default, the gem colors should match those of Rock Band.  It could be made a 
user option to use the original FoFiX/EOF coloring for lanes 1 through 6 
(green, red, yellow, blue, purple, orange).

One complication is that EOF refers to lanes in some places by their gem color, 
so either of the two should also occur:

1. Store a string for the color of each lane's gems, and use that appropriate 
in the menu, etc.

or

2. Change such lane color references to lane number instead.  This would 
probably be easier to do and may be less confusing to people who change color 
sets.

At the end, the documentation would need to be updated accordingly.

I like this.  If this could be enabled in the options for the user to change 
and position the gem colors it could be very very helpful and would hopefully 
not take too much work.

Do you mean as in manually assigning the color for each lane?  If we did go 
this route, the cymbal/expert+ drum shortcuts would probably have to be changed 
to refer to lane numbers instead, ie. CTRL+1 in PART DRUMS marks expert+ double 
bass, CTRL+3 marks lane 3 (normally yellow) as a cymbal, etc.

I think the ability to manually assign the color for each lane would be great.  
I dont want you to have to go and change the shortcut keys because I think if 
the user decides to change the gem colors then they should have to use the old 
shortcuts and deal with it.  But then again the ctrl and 1-6 would be very nice 
hopefully not too hard to implement.  If you decide to do that you should make 
it to where all lanes could be toggled to either cymbal or drum with the 
exception of just snare and kick.  Thanks so much for taking these suggestions 
seriously and implementing most of them.  You have produced a tremendous 
program and I know that we all are very grateful.

r852 added a user preference to have EOF use the Rock Band color set for each 
track instead of the original EOF color set.  I'm planning on adding a user 
dialog menu to define a color, so this would probably become the basis for each 
lane having a user-defined color.

r894 adds a guitar hero color set.

If the user was given the ability to create an RGB color to assign to a lane, 
the 3D graphic for the image would have to be altered in-program to suit.  This 
is probably do-able, but given the amount of programming it would take, I don't 
see a widespread benefit of this.  Most people would want to mimic the color 
set used by a specific rhythm game, and it's trivial for me to configure 
another color set that can be selected from the Preferences dialog.  I'll have 
no problem adding a color set on request if it is used by another editor or 
rhythm game.
