text: Name: privateColors
  
  Type: property
  
  Syntax: set the privateColors to true
  
  Summary:
  Specifies whether LiveCode uses its own <color table> or the system
  <color table> on <Unix|Unix systems>.
  
  Introduced: 1.0
  
  OS: linux
  
  Platforms: desktop, server
  
  Example:
  set the privateColors to true
  
  Value (bool):
  The <privateColors> is true or false.
  By default, the <privateColors> <property> is set to false.
  
  Description:
  Use the <privateColors> <property> to improve display on <Unix|Unix
  systems> when the <bit depth> of the screen is 8 <bit|bits> (256 colors)
  or less.
  
  Set the <privateColors> <property> to true for a <stack> that uses
  colors that aren't in the <default> <color table>. This has the
  advantage of letting the <stack> display more colors than normally
  possible on an 8- <bit> display. The disadvantage is that if the
  <privateColors> is true, the colors of other applications' windows may
  be distorted while LiveCode is the foreground application.
  
  When the <privateColors> is set to false, the <engine> uses the system
  <color table>. When it is set to true, the <engine> uses its own custom
  <color table>.
  
  This property has no effect unless the <screenType> <property> has a
  value of "PseudoColor" --that is, each <pixel> on the screen is one of a
  <color table> of colors (usually 256 colors), and the colors in that
  <color table> can be changed by the <engine>.
  
  >*Important:*  Once the <privateColors> <property> is set to true, it
  > cannot be set back to false. To change it back to true, you must quit
  > and restart the <application>.
  
  The setting of this property has no effect on Mac OS or Windows systems.
