Color Preferences | | | |
Color Preferences can be set to customize
the look and feel of the pages in Tracker.
You may wish to change the color preferences from their
defaults so that the Tracker pages
reflect the color scheme of your web site or organization.
Please note that setting color preferences may change
some style elements that are default for your browser
(e.g. If your browser displays buttons with a smooth edge,
the smooth edge will be lost when applying color preferences to buttons
using the options below).
To set the Color Preferences:
- Login to the
workgroup
as Admin
- Click on the Admin icon in the top
button bar
- Click on the Color Preferences link
- To change the color of an item, select a color from
the pulldown or select <Custom> to
enter the Hex code or select <Default>
to choose the browser's default value. Hex code must be in the
format "#XXXXXX". An explanation
of each item can be found in the
Color Preference Options section.
Your selections are displayed in a preview to the right of
the preferences.
- Click on the OK button to save the changes
A Reset button is available to reset the color preferences to their
settings as of the last time the Color Preferences were saved.
A Cancel button is available to return to the Admin section
without saving any changes to the Color Preferences page.
Color Preference Options
Theme
A set of pre-defined Themes is available. Each Theme has a set of color
preferences configured to give Tracker a color scheme that is consistent
throughout all pages. Selecting a theme will update the samples displayed in the
rest of the Color Preferences sections (General Settings, Browser Settings, etc.).
You can select a theme and accept its default color preference
settings or you can choose a theme as a starting point and make changes to individual
color preferences as desired. After changing any option(s) in a theme and clicking OK to save
the changes, the theme will be saved as "<Theme> (Modified)" to distinguish the
theme with changes added from the original theme. This allows you to experiment with changes to
the theme without losing the original theme.
"Version 6 Flat" is the default theme for new workgroups.
Version 6 is the theme that matches the default selections for workgroups created in
versions 6.0.0 - 6.6.1. Version 5 is the theme that has the color preferences that match the defaults for
Version 5.x workgroups.
