Change Fonts and Display Colors

Changes you make to the fonts and display colors are saved to the currently selected Theme file. By default, new terminal sessions use built-in Theme files that are optimized for each terminal type. These files are not editable. If you are using one of these built-in Themes, InfoConnect automatically creates an editable copy of the theme file and saves your changes to this file, located in the Themes folder in your InfoConnect user data folder This folder location is configurable using the Data Location tab during installation. The default is C:\Users\username\Documents\Micro Focus\InfoConnect. .

Use these procedures to customize the look of your terminal sessions:

Change colors using point-and-click

This option is available if you are using the ribbon interface.

  1. Click the Appearance tab.

  2. Click Color and select a color.

  3. Click again in the part of the terminal window (background or text) that you want to modify.

  4. Save your session file.

NOTE:

  • Color changes you make using the ribbon are saved to the currently selected theme file when you save your session. If this is one of the built-in themes, InfoConnect automatically creates an editable copy of the built-in theme file and saves the copy with your modifications to the Themes folder in your InfoConnect user data folder This folder location is configurable using the Data Location tab during installation. The default is C:\Users\username\Documents\Micro Focus\InfoConnect. .

  • If you are editing the status line in ALC, UTS, or T27, point-and-click color edits may not work. For these terminal types, the recommended method for editing the status line is to use the Modify Themes dialog box as described in the next procedure.
