Zero & Negative Text Colors

Feature

The Goldenseal accounting and estimating software program now stores text colors in the field itself, so screen drawing is a few microseconds faster. This may reduce flickering, since we don't need to check the number value each time the screen draws.

Technical Details

Goldenseal accounting software includes the option to show zero and negative values in a dfiferent color in reports and data entry windows (it can be convenient to see negative values in bright red, for example).

We used to check the number value each time the screen draws, but we now check the field value only when it changes, and then store the text color internally, for faster drawing.
