Console Preferences window: Appearance Preferences page
This topic describes the Console Preferences window: Appearance
Preferences page.
Introduction
Use this page to customize the appearance of your IBM® Systems
Director Launched Tasks program. You can
set the color for text, backgrounds, and links. You can choose a background
image and decide whether to show a shadow.
Fields
- Appearance Settings
- Item
- The background or text that you want to change (console, window, status window,
or marquee).
- Color
- Click Color to see a color-selection window. You
can choose a color from the Swatches page, or use the HSB (hue, saturation,
and brightness) page or RGB (red, green, and blue) page to customize the color
you want.
Note: If you use a screen reader, use the RGB page to set the color.
To adjust the color, move the Red, Green,
or Blue slider to the right or left.
- Shadow Settings
- Show shadow
- When this check box is selected, gives IBM Systems
Director Launched Tasks program windows
a three-dimensional appearance. If you select a color background image setting,
shadows are displayed by default.
- Background Image Settings
- Select a background image setting. You can select from several marbled
effects for the background, or you can select None. The background is applied
to existing task consoles and the backgrounds of those started in the future.
The settings are applied after you exit from the Console Preferences window.
- Reset
- Returns the values on the page to the values that existed when you opened
the page during this session.

default values have black text, no background color, and no shadow.
