Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Display Colors
Figure 6-13 Error Message for Conflicting Color Specifications
After customizing colors for a session, you can select another session for
color remapping, or choose <Done> to return to the main screen.
Using Default Color Mapping
To use the default color mapping provided by the TN3270 emulation
program, use the following procedure:
Step 1. On the Choose Colors for SESSnn dialog box, choose <Default>. The
dialog box shown in Figure 6-14, “Warning Dialog Box,” is displayed.
Step 2. Complete this procedure by making one of the following choices. Either
choice removes the warning box and leaves the Choose Colors for
SESSnn dialog box displayed:
• Choose <OK> to confirm choosing the default colors.
• Choose <Cancel> to return to the color and attribute settings in
effect before you chose <Default>.
