Specifying custom color settings

About this task

Rational Synergy uses preferences in the Options dialog box provided by the operating system. In Windows®, the color selection dialog box does not respond properly to assistive technology. When you first open the dialog box, the focus is on one of the basic colors, but the dialog box provides no indication of this through assistive technology. Instead, use the Rational Synergy Options dialog box View tab to select colors in the graphical interface.

Select colors in the GUI using the Rational Synergy Options dialog box:

Procedure

  1. Select a color area to customize. For example, select Tools > Options; click View tab; click Color
  2. You can change the selection color, ledger line color, text color, or project icon color. In the middle pane, select the color you want to change. Look in Preview of colors for an example of what the selection color will look like in Rational Synergy.

    Selection color: Change the foreground and background colors.

    Ledger line color: Change the odd and even background colors for the table rows.

    Text color: Change the colors for modifiable and non-modifiable object text.

    Project icon color: You can change the color that displays in the project icon for each purpose.
