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

Note You may have to use the scroll bar in order to find the particular attribute you are looking for.
|
|
2. |
Select the desired color from the standard Windows color palette under the Color Scheme section on the left. The color box
for that attribute changes to the selected color.
|
|

Attribute Overrides
In BlueZone iSeries Display, it is possible to change the associated attribute behavior of a particular attribute.
To give you an idea how this feature works, try this exercise.
|
1. |
While on the main iSeries login screen, locate the Green/Underscore attribute and select its radio button. The default color
is green. In the Attribute Overrides section, the Underscore check box is checked.
|
|
2. |
Change the color to yellow by clicking the yellow square in the Windows color palette located on the left hand side of the
dialog. Click Apply. The underscores change to yellow.
|
|
3. |
Check the Reverse Image check box and click Apply. The underscores change to yellow boxes with a black line at the bottom.
|
|
4. |
Clear the Underscore check box and click Apply button. The black lines (really underscores) disappear leaving only the yellow boxes.
