- 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.

- 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.

- 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).
