CHOOSING YOUR SCREEN COLORS in PC-TYPE+
If you have a color monitor and would like to change the colors of
PC-TYPE+ to something different than those selected for your
distribution disk, you can do this by going to the MODIFY DEFAULTS
panel by pressing F8 and then F2. Once in the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel,
move the Option Selection Bar by pressing the Tab key (or the Shift
Tab key to move in the opposite direction) until it is on the field
Screen Attributes. Then Press F10 and you will be presented with the
screen displayed below.
If you use a monochrome screen, don't worry about the colors. The
attributes are automatically changed in PC-TYPE+ when it recognizes
that you are using a monochrome screen.
If you use a graphics card with a non-color monitor, you should
probably change these attributes so your screen will be legible.
Press the PgDn Key

Press AltF or CtrlF to change Foreground Definition

Press the PgDn Key
SCREEN COLORS
You may set colors on four different areas of the screen:
- the text area in which you are now looking
- the border outside the double line at the margins
- the fields color, like the Command Line below
- the small menus color which you would see if you pressed F8.
To change the colors, you move the Color Selection Bar to the field
you want to modify (Screen Attribute, Menu Attribute, etc.) by
pressing the Tab key, and then press AltF or CtrlF to change the
foreground color and AltB or CtrlB to change the background color.
The results of these color changes will be seen on the small screen in
the panel as you make the changes. (The numbers mainly help you
remember a particular combination you liked.) AltF and AltB change
these numbers in one direction while CtrlF and CtrlB change the
numbers in the opposite direction.
Press the PgDn Key
SCREEN COLORS
When you are satisfied with what you have, press F10, and the colors
of PC-TYPE+ will change instantly to your new selection. If you
decide you really didn't want to change the colors after all, you
could press the Esc key INSTEAD of F10 and your changes will be
ignored.
If you like your selections and want to make them permanent, you may
do so by saving your defaults to a file or to PC-TYPE+ itself. (See
HELP file DFLTS_SV).
