How to use it

Webalizer has 10 hard-coded colors. The present patch allow you to configure them in your standard webalizer.conf file by adding 10 new keywords to define them:

Original hard-coded	Meaning	Example with the patch
GREEN	color for HITS	your own ColorHit
BLUE	color for FILES	your own ColorFile
ORANGE	color for SITE	your own ColorSite
RED	color for KBYTES	your own ColorKbyte
CYAN	color for PAGE	your own ColorPage
YELLOW	color for VISIT	your own ColorVisit
PURPLE	additional color for pie	your own PieColor1
LT GREEN	additional color for pie	your own PieColor2
LT PURPLE	additional color for pie	your own PieColor3
BROWN	additional color for pie	your own PieColor4

To enable it, simply apply the patch on the webalizer source tree and compile the webalizer. Then, look at the new webalizer.conf file or the man page: it shows examples of use for these new keywords.

Important note

To enable the new colors on images for your already generated stats, you must re-process them by removing the history file (webalizer.current) and launch webalizer by hand only once. If you had old rotated logs, there is probably no other way than re-processing them one by one in the historical order.
