Attributes
This dialog box is displayed by selecting Attributes in the Settings menu. It enables
you to specify the colours used in the dialog area and how text with attributes is
displayed.
To change the way a screen element is displayed, select the relevant item from the
Screen Element list box, for example, Bold (BD) for characters with the bold
attribute. The settings of the other options in the dialog box will change to reflect the
settings currently assigned to the screen element, and the Sample Text window will
show how the screen element is actually displayed with these settings.
Text with attributes can be displayed in various ways. For example, characters with
the underline attribute can be displayed as standard (e.g. underlined only), as a
particular colour only (e.g. green without the underline), or with both attribute and a
specific colour (e.g. underlined and green). The Attribute options allow you to
enable or disable any of the attributes normally associated with the currently selected
screen element. The setting of the Use Colours option determines whether or not a
specific colour is assigned to the text attribute.
When the Use Colours option is selected, the colour of the screen element can be
changed by clicking on the required colour block in the palette of Foreground and/
or Background colours. The two palettes enable you to specify a different colour for
text (foreground) and text cell (background). The set of 16 colours displayed can be
customized using the Colour Palette dialog box which is described later.
The following sections describe items in the Attributes dialog box in more detail.
