View Properties Notebook: Colors Page

Use the Colors page to change the color of label text, the color of free text, and the color or image displayed in the background of the current view.

To change the color of the label text (the text that identifies objects) in the view, click on the arrow beside Label foreground. You will see a color palette you can use to select the color you want to use for label text. For details views, this changes the color of all the text in the view.

To change the color of the free text (the text that is not associated with objects) in the view, click on the arrow beside Free text foreground. You will see a color palette you can use to select the color you want to use for free text. This field does not appear for details views.

To change the view background, select either the Image or Solid color button. Details views always use the solid color specification.

Warning: Be sure that you use a combination of colors that is easily distinguishable. For example, do not put light blue label text on a dark blue view background.

To reset the defaults for this page to the system defaults, press the first Default push button.
