You can customize the color of your screen and the appearance of different host attributes in the terminal window. For each item, you can select a color for the foreground and the background colors for all supported host connections. Colors are specified using the color grid or by entering the Hex code format.
There are many web sites that list available Hex colors, for an example see w3schools.com HTML Color Picker
You may see different options depending on the type of host connection.
Options specific to UTS hosts:
- To use the colors specified here rather than any colors specified by the host, clear this option.
- To disable blinking, clear this option.
- In UTS emulation, colors are set directly by the host. You can specify colors for text associated with specific screen display options. Including the following and available combinations:
Plain, Underline(UND), Strikethru (STK), Left Column Separator (LCS), Control Page, and Status Line (OIA).
- The video intensities, Blink, Dim, Protected, and Reverse are combined with the attributes to create additional combinations. For example, you could map foreground or background colors to all cells with Dim + Blink + Underline or Reverse + Protected + Strikethru + Underline.
When you select a video intensity (or combination of intensities), those intensities are combined with the value of the attribute drop down list to form a single color mapping.
Options specific to VT and T27 hosts:
- To disable blinking, clear this option.
- Displays text set with bold attributes as bold text in the terminal window. To display bold characters as plain text, clear this option.
- Displays text with underline.
