The Screen Element list box enables you to select the display element you want to modify. This includes each character attribute (such as bold or underline) and attribute combination (such as bold +underline).
The Foreground and Background color palettes enable you to specify the colors for the selected Screen Element. You can select different colors for the palettes by clicking the Set Colour button.
The Active Attribute options allow you to enable or disable the attributes assigned to text by default. For example, if you want characters normally displayed with the underline attribute to be displayed without the underline, select the Underline (UL) option in the Screen Element list box then uncheck the Underline (UL) option under Active Attribute.
The Sample Text box is used to show how the attribute settings currently applied to the selected screen element will appear on the display.
The Preferences list box enables you to select additional display options, some of which are terminal emulation specific. For example, the AutoColour Mode option is only applicable to DEC VT terminal emulations and when selected will cause displayed characters to be color coded according to type (numeric, alphabetic, etc.).
