Use the Console Properties function (in the Options menu of a view) to open the Console Properties notebook, in which you can view or change the current properties for the Topology Console. The Console Properties notebook allows you to change properties such as what is displayed in the background of a view, the text font for various window items, and what statuses are displayed on the view filter.
Properties apply to the console window and to views. Some view properties may be overridden by the settings in the View Properties notebook.
