Does anyone know what lines 1 and 4 in pixels.tbl are for? Or is anyone willing to find out?

Lines 2, 3, and 5 are used for casting engine glow colors.  1 and 4 on the other hand (by default white and pure green, respectively) I have no idea.  I'm trying to change text color in game, and I'm wondering if these two are related and if not, what they're really for.

green might be for transparency

I believe the white in line 1 was to allow glide cards to make the windows/lights that were pure white on ships seem to glow a bit brighter.

The Green, I'd say was for transparency.

actually, glide is the only one that doesn't support green as transparency.

well, changing line 4 from green to red didn't seem to affect planets. is glide used by default? (stupid question, i know)  Also, could someone tell me if the color of briefing text and other text in game is hardcoded?
