looking at the downloadable screens they exhibit a variety of background colours for such things as code window, labels etc. I see no way of controling this in either machscreen or scree4. The screens I create seem to have an almost random background colour for these items. Sometimes it's black with white text, sometimes it's a baige with black text - any tips gratefully received. Also with benny's digital DRO text he has cyan, yet when I use the font setter in my screens, regardless of which colour I select, like henry ford I get only black!

TIA

Ian

Ian, in screen 4 you have a colot button at the top where you set your default colors for the screen. Things listed in it are global for the screen set.

Function Cfg's>Fonts only allows you to change the actual font. Changing anything else will have no effect, including size and color.

thanks Brett exactly what i was looking for
thanks also ger

Hey Ian

in MachScreen just select the element you want to change the color and click at the color type field in the property dialog. This color applies for elements  in the screen file.

Thanks Klaus
