Color Tab

The Color tab provides a method for you to choose an alternate set of colors to be used in the terminal emulation window. For example, if you use a combination of foreground and background colors that are difficult to read with the standard set of colors used by the terminal emulator, then you may select an alternate set of colors that makes this foreground/background combination readable.

This drop down box contains a list of color definition files that were found in the color subdirectory of the FacetWin installation directory on the PC. These files specify alternate sets of colors that may be used with the terminal emulator. If you find that the normal colors used by the terminal emulator are not optimum for some of the color combinations you are using, you may select an alternate color set here. The name of each color definition file provided with FacetWin DT describes the basic effect of the color set (such as brighter foreground colors).

This display area shows the effect of the colors that are used by the color definition file selected above. This display shows every foreground color on every background color. This allows you to preview the effect of a color definition file before closing the property sheet and having the color change applied to the terminal emulator window.
