AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual
The " Coloring Mode " parameter offers 2 values:
- Standard: 6 coloring attributes
- Enhanced: 16 coloring attributes
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.
Enter the AX3000 set-up and set for the required session the ' Enhanced Mode ' parameter to
'Yes' . See Chapter 8.1.5.
