Terminal Color Settings

Use the Terminal Color Settings option to define default color settings for different terminal types. When you select this option, a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 9–6 appears.

Figure 9–6: Terminal Color Settings Screen

By default, your screen shows the terminal type you are using to run Results. When you press RETURN, the default settings for the terminal type appear in two columns. You can change the settings in the left column. The right column displays the settings you saw when you entered this window, so you can compare them with your new settings. To quickly reset your settings on the left to match the right, press RECALL.

Use this screen to define the display format for Results menus, dialog boxes, and lists. Once you specify a terminal type, you can specify the attributes for each of these parts of the screens. For regular terminal devices (noncolor), you can use the NORMAL, MESSAGES, and INPUT settings:

For example, Figure 9–7 specifies that menus on a WY60 terminal appear in reverse video, with highlighted text in normal video. It also indicates that an underline highlights text in dialog boxes.

Figure 9–7: Terminal Color Settings Example

Press RECALL to reset these settings to their previous settings.

For monitors and terminals that support color (PC monitors, for example), you can specify foreground and background colors. The format is foreground color/background color. For example, if you enter black/red for the menu’s Normal setting, menu boxes appear as black letters on red background.

These are the foreground and background colors you can use:

Black
Blue
Green
Cyan
Red
Magenta
Brown
Gray
Yellow
White
Dark-Gray
Light-Blue
Light-Green
Light-Cyan
Light-Red
Light-Magenta
Light-Brown
