The Color Scheme group is used to select a color scheme or make an individual color selection:


Colors / Attributes ----

In the BlueZone iSeries Display, Colors and Attributes are defined together.  To change the color of a particular attribute:

  1. locate the particular color / attribute you wish to change in the Colors / Attributes scroll box, and select it by clicking its radio button.

NOTE  You may have to use the scroll bar in order to find the particular Color /Attribute you are looking for.

  1. With you mouse pointer, select the desired color from the standard Windows color palette under the Color Scheme section on the left.

  2. Click the Apply or the OK button.


Attribute Overrides ----

In BlueZone iSeries Display, it is possible to change the associated attribute behavior of a particular attribute.

For example, by default, any characters that have the Red/Reverse Image Attribute, will display as a red reverse image.  If you want to change this, find the Red/Reverse Image attribute in the Colors / Attributes section (you may have to use the scroll bar), and select its radio button.

On the right, you will see the attributes assigned color, and in the Attribute Overrides box, you will see that the Reverse Image checkbox is checked.

Now you can change the attributes assigned color, and if desired the associated attribute behavior by checking or un-checking any of the Attribute Overrides check boxes.


Display Column Separators as Points

Use this checkbox to turn iSeries Column Separators into very tiny points.
