How do I change my screen colours?

Summary

The following article shows you how to change your background screen colour in Platinum.

More Information

As standard, the background screen in Platinum behind the menu is either grey or black, depending on your system setup. This can be changed per user to a different colour of your choice. You might for example have two different copies of Platinum for different companies. Changing the background colour would easily identify at a glance which company you were in.

To make the required changes, the logged in user requires access to " Reports & Settings"

• Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options Systems Administrator Add or Edit Users"
• Click [Search] to bring up a list of users.
• Select [Edit] against the required user.
• Press <F5> to bring up the available colours.
• This brings up a large list of options and colours. The only line you are interested in is the first line entitled 'Background/Blank Lines'
• Press <Enter>. This takes you across into the list of available colurs.
• Now, using the <Tab> and <Up and Down arrows>, navigate your way around the colours until you see the background around the top line title of 'Background/Blank Lines' change to a colour you like.
• Press <Enter> to choose your desired colour.
• Press <Esc>,<Done> and <Accept> to save your changes.
• If you now log out and back into Platinum, your background colour scheme will have changed.
