/*
Design goals: Color calculation is done on one place only. Configuration through krConfig OR through local settings.
Calculation must be fast through cacheing.

This implementation exposes 3 classes:

KrColorSettings: holds the color settings from krConfig, which can be changed locally
KrColorItemType: specifies the colors to be calculated
KrColorCache: perfomes the color calculation and caches the result. Uses KrColorSettings for the calculation
*/


/*
Copies all used color settings from krConfig into a local cache on creation. It contains 3 types of properties:
color, numeric (int) and boolean. Color properties can have string or color values. Property values can be
changed. These changes does not go into krConfig!

is*Valid checks, if a protery name is valid
get*Names returns a list of all allowed property names
set*Value overwrites a property with a new value
get*Value retunrs the current value

For colors teh value can be returned as text or as color. If a text representation is not a valid color, 
setColorValue(TQColor()) should be called.

The color calculation. It bases on an internal KrColorSettings instance. Via setColors it can be changed.
getColors does the color calculation. It sets the colors Base, Background, Text, HighlightedText and Highlight.

colorsRefreshed. getColorCache returns a statis color cached for painting the panels. On the color cache
