Options

User defaults and preferences can be set under Tools | Options. Selecting an option from the right or left column focuses the selection and turns the right-column item into a drop-down list. Parameters are set under the following headings:

Appearance

Color Styles - set color scheme for filter table. Select from Default, Custom, and a list of pre-selected schemes.

Complimentary Colors

Complimentary Colors - alter the choices for complimentary colors within a dialog box, such as the filter graph composite line and horizontal grabber.

  1. Select either the Primary or Secondary color by clicking the color's text field. A button appears that allows you to open the drop-down list.

  2. Select a color palette from three tabs: Custom; Web; System. Web is the default.

  3. Select a color from the list. When a color scheme is altered, the Appearance selection is set to Custom.

Graph Colors

Set one of all of the colors for the filter dialog tables. Use the Appearance Default or pre-selected schemes as a starting point. Click a color's text field to activate the drop-down list. When a color scheme is altered, the Appearance selection is set to Custom.
