To customize the coloring mode, select the "Coloring Mode Settings"
parameter. The displayed dialog box allows coloring attributes to be associated
with a foreground and background colors.
8.1.7 - Underline Attribute Management
The reverse video attribute, the bold attribute and the blinking attribute are
supported by all VGA monitors. However, the underline attribute is only
supported by monochrome VGA monitors.
If the underline attribute is essential with a color VGA monitor, one of the
following three methods can be used, but note that each entails the loss of
some other display capability.
a) Using the Session as a Monochrome Session
Set the Attribute Mode parameter to monochrome (see Chapter 8.1.5).
b) Using the Coloring Mode
The AX3000 coloring mode is used to provide different foreground and
background colors for each monochrome attribute. So although no underline
appears on the screen, normal and underlined text can be distinguished by
different background colors.
The benefit of this method is that the coloring mode is specific to a single
session. Sessions with different colors, or with the native colors of a software
package, can be run on the same AX3000.
For more information about "coloring mode", see Chapter 8.1.6.
c) Using Underline Attribute in Color Mode
An AX3000 set-up parameter allows the underline attribute to be displayed in
color mode, but this disables the bold attribute.
This is a good way to display underlining if the bold attribute is not used by the
software in question.
