Customizing Your Display

You can customize the appearance of your documents by setting the display colors, font sizes, and fonts . You can also determine whether or not hypertext links are underlined.

Colors

You can customize the color of text and background in documents that you open with Navigate with an Accent. You can either use your custom-selected colors as default colors (for documents without color specifications), or you can set your color scheme to override the colors specified in the document you open.

To customize display colors:

1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Colors.
3. You can choose a color for each of the following elements:

   Text Color

   Normal text.

   Background Color

   Background color of document window.

   Link Color

   Color of hypertext links.

   Visited Link Color

   Color of hypertext links to sites that you have already visited.

4. To choose a color, click the Set button next to the element for which you want to define a color; a color palette appears. Choose the color you want for that element, then click OK.

The following criteria determine which color scheme Accent uses:

• If you want the colors you have selected to override the colors that are coded into the documents that you view, select Ignore Document Attributes in the bottom of the Colors box. (This will eliminate background graphics.)
• If you do not select Ignore Document Attributes, Accent will use your colors to the extent that the documents you are viewing do not specify colors.
• If you select Use System Colors in the bottom of the Colors box, Accent will use your system colors rather than the colors you selected in Accent for normal text and background. If you also select Ignore Document Attributes, Accent will use your system colors for normal text and background in all cases.

Fonts

You can determine the fonts the Navigate with an Accent uses through Preferences. You can select the font separately for Normal Text, Headers, and Monospace Text, and you can select fonts for any language group, including Western (Latin), Central European, Cyrillic, Greek, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Japanese. You can also determine font size for both viewing and printing, with five different sizes to choose from ranging from Very Small to Very Large.

To set fonts:

1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Fonts.

To set font size:

• Use the Display Font Size box to determine the size of text that appears on your screen.
• Use the Printer Font Size box to determine the size of text in documents that you print.

To choose type of font:

1. In the Script box, choose the language group for which you want to set the font types.
2. You can choose a font type for each of the following types of text:

   Normal Text

   Includes most styles.

   Header

   Includes heading styles.

   Monospace Text

   Includes fixed-width styles.

3. When you have finished setting font sizes and types, click OK to close Preferences.

Underlining Hypertext Links

You can determine whether or not hypertext links are underlined in your display from Preferences:

1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Miscellaneous.
3. Select or deselect Underline Links.
4. Click OK to close Preferences.
