Use Exact Colors |
This option is available only if you have a 256 color display (that is, a display with a palette). If selected (the default), 16 of the 256 available colors are used to exactly match the VT colors. You can change any of the 16, defining your own exact colors. If cleared, the palette is disabled. The requested color is matched to the closest available Windows pre-set color. |
|
Lock User Colors |
Prevent the host from changing colors. Normally the host can change any of the 16 colors defined by the display. However, some host applications fail to restore the colors, altering the appearance of text and graphics from other applications. |

Reset: To Factory Colors |
Change all indexes to the original (factory) values. |
|
Color Index |
Change each color as required. The numbers displayed are the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values for each of the 16 VT colors. |

NOTE:This option is available only if you have a 256-color display (that is, a display with a palette). Of the 256 available colors, 16 are used to exactly match the VT colors. You can change any of the 16, defining your own exact colors. You might notice that Windows reallocates the palette entries when running in the background. When you switch between this product and other applications, the background application colors might change or flash, but the foreground application colors remain correct.
If you want to define your own VT colors, on the Color page, type a new RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value for the index you want to change.
