"Heading color" - The color to be used as the background of the report headers. This is an HTML style color number typically six hexadecimal digits as "#RRGGBB". The default color is medium lite blue "#CCCCFF". Summary Pro only.
"Sub-Head color" - The color to be used as the background of the report sub headings. This is an HTML style color number typically six hexadecimal digits as "#RRGGBB". The default color is gray "#CCCCCC". Summary Pro only.
"Custom HTML header" - HTML code to use at the top of the page. Leave blank to use the default headings. The HTML code should include <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE>, and <BODY> tags. See below for a list of the special commands that can be used to insert program related information. Summary Pro only.
"Custom HTML footer" - HTML code to use at the bottom of the page. Leave blank to use the default footer. The HTML code should include </BODY> and </HTML> tags. Summary Pro only.
You must take care to enter valid HTML. All Summary pages will use this header and footer, if they are sufficiently wrong you may not be able to access the configuration page to set them back. In that case you must exit Summary and edit the "config.txt" file in the "Config" folder. Delete the lines that start "Header:" and "Footer:" to get back to the default header and footer configuration.
