window and select Display Options. Click the Colors tab.
- Color Scheme
- The Color Scheme group is used to select a color scheme or make
an individual color selection:
- Black on White: Use this radio button to
set the session display background color to white and the foreground
color to black. Attribute and Extended Colors automatically change
to black.
- White on Black: With this radio button
enabled, the session displays a background color of black and the
foreground color of white. Attribute and Extended Colors automatically

of the session display to use the colors as defined. To change an
individual color select the item to change then select a color square
or click Customize.
- Customize: Click to change the color of
the currently selected item. The colors available are dependent on
the display hardware and operating system configuration of the PC.
- Colors / Attributes
- In the BlueZone iSeries Display, Colors and Attributes are defined
together. To change the color of a particular attribute:
- Locate the particular attribute you want 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 attribute you are looking for.
- 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.
- Click Apply or OK. The changes take effect.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Check the Reverse Image check box and click Apply. The underscores change to yellow boxes with a
black line at the bottom.
- Clear the Underscore check box and click Apply button. The black lines (really underscores) disappear
leaving only the yellow boxes.
If you like, you can experiment with other color and override
settings. If you are not happy with the results, you can always click Default All to set all colors and attributes back to
their default values.
- Display Column Separators as Points
- Use this check box to turn iSeries Column Separators into very
tiny points.
- Default All Button
- Click to set all colors associated with all attributes back to
their default values.
