Cursor Style

Make sure any sound file you want to include is saved in a trusted location. Reflection uses the sound files installed with Windows.

Setting Description
Shape This field allows you to select either a block or line style cursor.
Enable cursor blink If checked, the cursor will blink.
Note: If you run Reflection in a Citrix environment, blinking does not work regardless of this setting.

Text Color Mapping

Setting Description
Terminal Color This set of fields allows users to change the color of a specific color in the new Tandem 6530 terminal extended color escape sequences. For instance, if the host send a command to place a field with the Black color (first in the list), and the user has changed that color to something else (i.e. orange), then the field uses the new orange color instead of black.
Note: In most cases this set of fields should not be changed, unless the combination of foreground and background of an extended field is hard to read.
Terminal Attribute The NonStop 6530 protocol uses attributes to designate different fields on the screen such as underlined, blinking, or invisible. Since we now use color screens, these attributes are converted to colors as per the default map.
Note: You may still display the underline attribute (see here) if you wish, and you may also enable blinking on the same dialog, but all other attributes now convert to colors. Attributes can do both - i.e. blink and have a user defined color. To change an attributes color, just click on the Change button to the right of that attribute and select Foreground Color or Background Color, and then select a new color from the box of color that appears. Both the foreground and background colors can be changed, one at a time.
OSS Mode Colors Use this field to set the base attribute colors to use in OSS mode. Only the default (Normal attribute) is defined - all others use their meaning (i.e. Underline will be the same colors with an underline).

Border Colors

Use this section to define the border colors to use in Guardian (6530) and OSS (vt220) modes.

Cursor

Setting Description
Use default border color If checked and there is a border around the emulation screen, it takes on the background color of the Normal attribute. If unchecked, the fields below are active.
Guardian Mode Use this item to set the background color while in Guardian (6530) mode.
OSS Mode Use this item to set the background color while in OSS (vt220) mode.
