Customizing Display Colors
You can decide how your terminal shows the colors and highlighting
attributes that the host application assigns to the 3270 display's
contents, including the status line. You can even use different color
combinations, called color mappings, for each display session to help
differentiate one from another.
The character-based TN3270 emulation program provides only a
monochrome display. You can still specify different combinations of
reverse video, underline, intense and blinking terminal attributes to
distinguish between different host colors. The Motif TN3270 emulation
program provides full-color support.
The text and screen images in this section include full-color support, as
provided by the Motif program. For the character-based program, the
procedure for remapping colors is the same, but you will not have the
choice of colors, only the choice of terminal attributes.
Customizing Colors for a Display Session
To begin customizing colors for display sessions, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the Customize menu, choose Session Colors. The dialog box
shown in Figure 6-10, “Choose Session for Color Remapping Dialog Box,”
is displayed. Display sessions are listed by session number and long
name.
Step 2. To select a specific session, highlight the session and choose <Zoom>. The
dialog box shown in Figure 6-11, “Choose Colors for SESSnn Dialog Box,”
is displayed.
On the left side of the dialog box are the Host highlight attribute and
the Feature (a particular host color or the status line) to be represented.
On the right are the background and foreground colors available to
represent the host attributes and features on your terminal. The way
your terminal currently represents host attributes and features is shown
in the list boxes and in the Sample column.
