Set the Color Preferences

For color selection, the Diagram Trace Utility uses a dialog provided by the Windows operating system.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Preferences from the Window menu.

    The Preferences dialog appears.

  2. Navigate to General, Appearance, Colors and Fonts.

    The Colors and Fonts Preferences page appears.

  3. Select the required element whose color you want to change.

    Example: You can select the color of Error Text by expanding the Basic tree view item.

    A color button on the right side of the navigation tree becomes active. It shows the same color as the element selected.

  4. Click the color button.

    The Color dialog appears.

  5. (Optional) Click Define Custom Colors and enter the basic colors you want to set using an HSL or RGB specification. Click Add to Custom Colors.

    The color appears in the Custom Colors section.

  6. Select any color from Basic colors or Custom colors. Click OK.

    The Color dialog closes and the new color set is now visible on the color button.

  7. Click OK.

    The Diagram Trace Utility saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog.
