Options
  • Show Unprotected Fields: If selected, BlueZone shows all unprotected fields using the specified method below.
    • As Underlined: If selected, non-underlined unprotected fields are displayed as underlined.
    • Using Character: If selected, blank positions in unprotected fields display using the specified character shown in the Selection Box.
    Note: Enabling this option disables the smart screen updates feature.
  • Show Unprotected NULLs Using Character: If selected, NULL characters in unprotected fields display using the specified character shown in the Selection Box.
  • Always Use 4-Color Rules when Host Specifies "Default" Color: If selected, BlueZone overrides the 3270 data stream specification's use of the 2-Color Default color. Select this option if certain screen colors are not displaying as desired.
  • Paint NULLs as Spaces: If selected, BlueZone paints NULLs in the screen buffer using space characters. This is to aid hooking software that monitors the Win32 ExtTextOut() function.
  • Show Field Attributes: If selected, BlueZone displays the field attribute positions as hex values in the host screen. You can select one of the following options:
    • 3270: Displays the field attributes using the 3270 values.
    • HLLAPI: Displays the field attributes using the HLLAPI values.

    If cleared (default value), the field attribute positions display as space characters.

  • Always Show Reverse Video Background Color: If selected, areas of the display that are marked for transparency, such as text over watermarks, graphics, and transparent extended attribute fields, are shown with reverse video background colors.
