IOColors (I/O APIs

java.lang.Object
- org.openide.windows.IOColors

```
public abstract class IOColors
extends java.lang.Object
```
Settings of colors for normal, error, hyperlink, important hyperlink lines. Change is global for text past and future.
Client usage:
```
  // set important hyperlink color to red
  InputOutput io = ...;
  IOColors.setColor(io, IOColors.OutputType.HYPERLINK_IMPORTANT, Color.RED);
 
```
How to support IOColors in own IOProvider implementation:
- InputOutput provided by IOProvider has to implement Lookup.Provider
- Extend IOColors and implement its abstract methods
- Place instance of IOColors to Lookup provided by InputOutput
Since:

1.16
